Want to Post an Available Job or Internship?  

• Standardized Criterion: All jobs and internships posted to our site must meet standardized federal and regional hiring criterion

• Hiring an Unpaid Intern: Potential employers must meet specific administrative criterion to be eligible to hire a standard unpaid intern for the completion of 140-hours of work in exchange for 3 college credits. (Employers are responsible for submitting the standard followup documentation (timesheets and end-of-internship report) to the student’s department within one week of the student’s completion of the internship.)

• Hiring a Paid Intern: Potential employers must verify that the intern will be paid at least the standard minimum wage for the State of New York. In cases where either the student or the employer is not based in New York, standard legal guidelines for minimum wage apply and should be followed. Proper I-9 and related tax/employment documentation must be completed prior to the start date.

• Hiring a Young Professional Under 18: Philo4Thought does not typically work with students or professionals under the age of 18, however in the rare case that an intern is under 18 there is a standardized (required) contact form for parents and schools.  

• Philo4Thought Administrative Support: For a small fee, Philo4Thought vets potential employers, helps set up the introduction to qualifying students (age 18 or older) and ensures that preliminary documentation needed to secure the internship are completed. Email us at info@philo4thought.org to discuss your hiring needs and our qualifying process. (Please have your job/internship description and supporting documents ready when scheduling a meeting.)
