Global Enterprise Technology (GET) Immersion Internship | Lerner

The Global Enterprise Technology (GET) Immersion Internship experience is an innovative, extended 6-month work experience.

As a GET intern, your employer will assign you a position using global enterprise systems or creating new technology in a global environment. You’ll learn to navigate complex work environments as you work side-by-side with corporate system engineers, IT personnel, product planners and consultants. GET interns are often members of a global team with ongoing interaction with international stakeholders.

Successful candidates meet the GPA minimums, demonstrate a passion for learning new technology and participate in a rigorous, employer-led interview process.

Carl T. DiStefano, '18 and MIS major, explains how he got a job at Deloitte in cybersecurity:

“Because the company [I interned with] knew me so well by the end of the six month program, they knew the type of professional I would be and the work I could accomplish, and that made the difference when it came to offering full-time employment. I knew the culture, I had gone through the ropes, and after six months I had proved that I could be an asset to such a prestigious firm.”

The GET Immersion Internship is open to qualified students from any UD college in any discipline of study.

GET internships run from June through December each year, but the application process starts the previous September. To qualify, you should have database and programming knowledge or have taken prerequisite courses in database systems and programming.

You must apply for available internship positions in Handshake through Blue Hen Careers and be accepted. These are posted in September.

Completing the internship will earn you 9-12 elective credits. Academic coursework will be delivered through a combination of on-campus residencies and blended learning classes.

James Reilly, JPMorgan Chase:

“The GET program is one of the Lerner College’s greatest resources in giving students an opportunity to begin their careers in technology. The skills that I learned, both soft and technical, are lessons that I will carry into my everyday career.”
