Host a Position

Interested in Hosting an Internship or Practicum?

NC Division of Public Health (NC DPH) and Local Health Department (LHD) host sites must complete a submission form to display internship or practicum opportunities in our databases.

The Pathways Program Team will review completed submission forms for relevancy and completeness and contact the submitter with any questions or concerns. Approved opportunities will be displayed in the respective Opportunities Database, where students may apply during the application period.

When completing an Internship or Practicum Submission Form, host sites will have the opportunity to request a list of strong candidates.

The Pathways Program Team identifies strong candidates by individually screening each applicant's submitted materials against the position's minimum required criteria, preferred skills and experience, and other position details.

If individuals do not wish to receive a list of qualified candidates, the Pathways Program Team will provide an unscreened list of applicants.

The organization is responsible for selecting a candidate in their preferred manner; while interviews are recommended, they are not required. Once a candidate is selected, the organization must notify the Pathways Program Team to ensure the candidate is enrolled in the appropriate Pathways Program.
