KEDC Student Internship Application
Ever wondered what happens behind a “STAFF ONLY” door? Curious about how a community project draws people together? Maybe you look for new opportunities, or feel you could do more if given the chance. KEDC is preparing a paid student internship where you can learn how our work gets done and take part in it. With support, you might help prepare meetings, organize office projects, share stories about Kodiak, or connect students with local career opportunities.
Before You Apply
The internship is planned for November through May. Interns would work about five hours a week through December, increasing to about six hours a week in January. If selected, we’ll plan your hours around classes and include time to work with the other interns. Most shifts would be at KEDC’s office in the Plaza 1 Building, 104 Center Street, Suite 201A, Kodiak. High school, college, AKTEACH, and homeschool students are welcome. You must be at least 16 by November 2, 2026. No job experience, resume, references, or car are needed. Applications close Friday, October 23, at 5:00 p.m. Alaska time. Your internship schedule will follow the school calendar, with time off for school holidays, scheduled breaks and school closures. Some months will therefore have fewer work hours. Planned pay for the full internship, November 2026 through May 2027, is $2,800 per student, divided into seven equal monthly payments of $400 before payroll deductions.
