Internship Program

The College of Business MBA and undergraduate programs have an active internship program that provides a semester-long experience, complementing the student’s classroom knowledge with real-world work.

Recent internship opportunities have included positions with major airlines, airports, and aviation consulting firms. Embry-Riddle’s Career Services Office assists students in finding an internship in an area of the transportation industry that appeals to their career goals.

The Teaching Airport

Embry-Riddle and Daytona Beach International Airport have partnered to bring theory, practice, and public good together for the next generation of airport, aviation, and aerospace systems. Airport functions -- including operational technologies, practices, policies, safety, security, and the economic strength of the airport industry -- are investigated in the program.

The Teaching Airport provides a unique environment for industries to develop technology using a fully functioning airport facility as a test bed and also provides opportunities for student participation in these activities. Visit the Teaching Airport Web site for more information.

Rolls-Royce Sponsors Internship

Embry-Riddle fosters great networking skills for the benefit of its students. As a result of this networking, College of Business students often see great scholastic opportunities.

The Rolls-Royce Defense North America Internship is no exception. The program was set up by Joshua Daisey, an alumnus of Embry-Riddle College of Business. Daisey wanted a way to help students land a great start, and give the university a chance to gain some additional industry insight. The internship program sponsors two students each year.

Students must have excelled in educational and extracurricular activities, maintain a 3.0 GPA, be a U.S. citizen, and be a second-semester sophomore or a first-semester junior. The program features 600 credit hours of contact time divided over two full summers. That splits apart for a full 12 weeks of education and training each summer break. Additionally, the program offers students subsidized rent, competitive wages, relocation assistance, and structured performance evaluations.

While this is an internship, the program aims to attract new employees to Rolls-Royce Defense. Certainly, students will see the benefits of this exciting new opportunity.
