Internships are a great option for students looking to gain experience in public archaeology. Students wishing to gain skills in archaeological programming, education, fundraising, evaluation, and outreach would benefit from interning with Archaeology in the Community. AITC is happy to accommodate individual interests, schedules, and time frames. We work with interns to collaboratively create tasks and goals for mutual benefit. Internships are unpaid by default, but can be used to fulfill university requirements for credit.
