Link to applications

Overview:
The MN HOSA Internship Program offers members a chance to get involved at the state level through unique, hands-on experiences. Interns will work closely with state officers, contribute to special projects, and gain insight into leadership and event planning. These roles are designed to help participants explore potential future leadership within MN HOSA, with a focus on developing practical skills and making a tangible impact.

How the Program Works

  • Flexibility to Apply: Applicants can apply for one, several, or all intern groups, but they will only be accepted into one group. This ensures they are fully dedicated to their selected group’s activities and responsibilities.
  • Selective Process: Not everyone will be accepted, as spaces are limited to maintain a focused and impactful experience. We encourage thoughtful, quality applications.
  • Group Assignments: Each group offers unique experiences, so applicants should carefully consider which aligns best with their interests, skills, and availability. Accepted applicants will have a meaningful, hands-on role in shaping MN HOSA events and initiatives.

How to Apply

  1. Submit Your Application: Applications open on November 1st at the Fall Leadership Conference (FLC) and close on November 16th. You can apply for as many groups as you like, but you will only be accepted into one group if selected.
  2. Interview Process: Selected applicants will be invited to interviews between November 18th-25th. If multiple group leads are interested in you it is possible that you may have multiple interviews. However, please note that you may only be selected for 1 internship.
  3. Selection and Notification: After reviewing applications and interviews, we will announce the accepted interns on December 2nd. Not all applicants will be accepted, as space in each group is limited.
  4. Program Kickoff: The first intern meeting will take place in early December, where interns will meet their group lead and receive an overview of their tasks and expectations.
