GREAT HIRE?
CILI can be an invaluable partner in your efforts to find highly qualified and diversified interns who are so much more than your average intern. In exchange for a placement fee, CILI handles candidate sourcing while your organization will interview, select, and manage interns as you normally would.
Employer hosts are responsible for providing an 8-to-12-week summer internship that pays at least $15/hr, in an environment that is both challenging and nurturing, with a commitment to and capacity for developing talent.
Our Fellows have completed paid internships at more than 20 different Louisiana employers across a variety of industries, with many then receiving internship extension or full-time job offers.
