First step is to review open positions on the COBE Internship & Job Board. Positions are posted February – April.

Once you have found a position you are interested in, log into Handshake and submit an application to the participating small business or nonprofit.

Students can apply to as many positions as they are interested in and qualified for.

However, students may only participate in a maximum of two Bronco Corps positions, which cannot be completed simultaneous.

Participating students must be actively enrolled in a degree program at Boise State. All majors and graduate programs can participate.

Additionally, students must meet minimum qualifications listed by hiring company or organization for each position they apply to.

For international students, there may be additional eligibility requirements depending on your visa status. Check these resources to determine if you can participate as an international student.

Note, Bronco Corps interns are hired through the university, so this type of work is typically classified as a campus job.

Yes. All positions are paid $15 an hour, up to 160 hours per position.

Academic credit is optional. Students who have been hired for a Bronco Corps position may apply for credit with completion of the Boise State Internship Application.

Through this process department approval and adherence to application deadlines are required. Learn more and apply for internship credit here.

If your company or organization is in need of a paid intern, please complete our interest survey before December. Our administrative staff will review submissions and reach out to those selected in January.

We also welcome referrals. Feel free to spread the word within your small business and nonprofit network.

Participating organizations must be a licensed small business or nonprofit operating in Idaho. Bronco Corps targets organizations with less than 50 employees, who otherwise would not be able to compensate an intern.

Organizations are accountable for the following, with assistance from the Bronco Corps administrative team:

• Adhering to Boise State’s Employer User Policy
• Writing a clear internship/project description
• Creating a Handshake account and posting the position
• Selecting students to interview; scheduling and conducting interviews
• Selecting students to hire; offering the position
• Defining the internship scope; assigning appropriate tasks and projects
• Tracking and confirming hours worked every two weeks
• Providing an attentive supervisor/mentor; giving regular guidance, evaluation, and feedback to hired students

Boise State compensates the students, therefore there is no financial obligation. The program is designed to be a resource during challenging times.

Participating organizations can hire up to two students, depending on need and capacity for supervision/mentorship.
