Columbia Communities In Action (CCIA) Internships
Columbia Communities in Action (CCIA) provides students with civic and community engagement-focused paid internships. These internships are excellent opportunities to build, develop, and strengthen transferable skills in a hands-on environment.
CCIA is co-sponsored by the Center for Career Education and the Office of Civic Action and Engagement. The program is open to all full-time undergraduate students in Columbia College, Columbia Engineering, and General Studies. All majors are encouraged to apply.
Those selected for an internship will be part of the CCIA program, which will provide additional professional development and networking opportunities throughout the semester.
