Career Planning: For Employers

SPHHS is is a national leader in finding ways to maximize public health and quality of life, and this is demonstrated to employers by the quality work done by our interns and alumni. We welcome partnerships with employers and can work with you to provide opportunities for you and our students. Below are just a few ways we can help.

Greater Boston Internships at Mount Ida

We are very excited about a new program initiative for a select group of our Public Health and Health Sciences students to participate in semester-long internships in the Greater Boston area. Internships can be completed during the fall or spring semesters, as well as over the summer session, with students based at the Mount Ida campus in Newton, Mass.

As part of our undertaking, we are eager to work with both longstanding and new partners at institutions and organizations throughout the region, which could provide unique and valuable professional experiences for our exceptional students. Participating students will receive academic credit for their work, and are very enthusiastic about gaining insight into and practical knowledge of the working world. Our students are expected to perform at the highest levels of professionalism, with a strong commitment to developing new skills and understanding of the occupational environment.

Interested employers should contact Aimee Gilbert Loinaz, Assistant Director for Employer Engagement in the SPHHS Office of Career Planning, at aimeegl [at] umass [dot] edu (subject: Mt%20Ida%20Internships) (aimeegl[at]umass[dot]edu) or 413-545-8638.

Post Your Internships and Jobs for Students/Alumni

We encourage all organizations to post any full-time job opportunities and internships/co-ops in Handshake, a job and internship search platform for students and employers. Employers can post a job or internship, and students can search and apply according to the directions set. If you don't already have a Handshake account, create one for free at joinhandshake.com/employers/. Please add University of Massachusetts Amherst as a school so you can post jobs and internships. We are also using Handshake to set up career fairs and events, so be sure to add your profile to the system today.
