Service to Success Internships
Be exceptionally prepared to enter the workforce & make a difference in what you do.
The Service to Success Internships are funded through the Yellow Ribbon Advance grant and are designed specifically for military-connected students at Minnesota State Moorhead. This includes veterans, active-duty service members, enlisted personnel, spouses, and dependents. Each year paid internship opportunities are available, offering hands-on experience and on-the-job training in a student’s chosen field. Interns can earn between $17 and $25 per hour, depending on the type of internship. Opportunities are available year-round, with flexible time commitments based on availability of funds.
All students participating in internships are required to complete the Service to Success: Career Readiness Training Program.
For employers, Service to Success offers a no-cost way to host interns, as the grant covers all hourly wages. Participating organizations gain recognition as military-friendly employers and have the chance to play a direct role in developing the region’s future workforce. In addition to building meaningful connections, employers benefit from continued engagement through career fairs, tabling events, info sessions, and mock interviews. The Career Development Center is also available to support internship referrals and facilitate connections between students and employers.
