DIG’NIT Internships
University of Idaho is committed to promoting college and career readiness so students have the tools needed to successfully continue on the path to college. DIG’NIT is an academic summer technology enrichment program that creates paths to college for area students with high potential but limited opportunities, while promoting careers in fields related to Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics (STEAM).
Dig’nIT internship program is intended for students at least 16 years of age who have completed 10th-12th grade by summer 2018. Students will intern for 30 hours per week at sites in and around Coeur d’Alene. DIG’NIT interns are mature and responsible students who complete an application and interview process to participate in the program and have proven they are fully committed to the expectations of the internship.
