Part Time Internships information

What are part time internships?

Part time internships are temporary work opportunities where students or individuals work for a company or organization for fewer hours per week than a full-time position, typically ranging from 10 to 30 hours. These internships are designed to provide practical experience and skill development while allowing interns to balance other commitments such as classes or another job. Part time internships can be paid or unpaid, and are often available in a variety of fields including business, technology, marketing, and more. They are a great way for individuals to gain industry exposure, build networks, and enhance their resumes.

What is the difference between Part Time Internships vs Part Time Entry-Level Positions?

AspectPart Time InternshipsPart Time Entry-Level Positions
CredentialsUsually students or recent graduates; minimal certifications neededMay require some relevant skills or certifications, but less experience expected
Work EnvironmentLearning-focused, mentorship opportunities, often in office or remoteOperational, task-oriented, similar to full-time roles but part-time
Employer UsageInternship programs, educational institutions, companies seeking trainingCompanies hiring for entry-level roles with flexible hours
Search & Comparison IntentUnderstanding training opportunities, gaining experienceSeeking part-time work with minimal experience required

Part Time Internships are primarily designed for students or recent graduates seeking training and experience, often with mentorship. In contrast, Part Time Entry-Level Positions are operational roles requiring minimal prior experience, suitable for those entering the workforce. Both serve different purposes but are valuable for gaining work experience in a flexible, part-time format.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in a part-time internship?

To thrive in a part-time internship, you need a willingness to learn, basic knowledge relevant to the industry, and often current enrollment in an educational program. Familiarity with productivity tools like Microsoft Office or Google Workspace and basic understanding of workplace-specific software are typically required. Initiative, time management, and effective communication make interns stand out by helping them adapt quickly and contribute meaningfully. These skills and qualities are important because they enable interns to maximize learning, handle multiple tasks, and add value to the organization within limited hours.

How can a part-time internship help me build valuable professional connections while balancing academic commitments?

Part-time internships offer an excellent opportunity to expand your professional network while still focusing on your studies. Since the hours are flexible, you can participate in team meetings, collaborate on projects, and connect with mentors without overwhelming your academic schedule. Many organizations encourage interns to attend networking events or join cross-departmental teams, which helps you build relationships that can support your future career. By staying proactive and communicating with colleagues, you can maximize both your learning and networking opportunities during your internship.

Job description

Want to get involved with Imerman Angels? Our Mission:

To provide personalized peer connections that enable one-on-one support among cancer fighters, survivors and caregivers.


Imerman Angels was created on the belief that no one should have to face cancer alone and without the necessary support. Through our unique one-on-one matching process, Imerman Angels carefully partners anyone, any age, any gender, anywhere and any cancer type seeking support with someone just like them - a "Mentor Angel."  A Mentor Angel is a cancer survivor or caregiver who most importantly has faced the same type of cancer. It is this relationship that makes all the difference to a cancer fighter or caregiver.  


These one-on-one relationships give a cancer fighter or caregiver the chance to ask personal questions and get support from someone who has been there before. Mentor Angels can lend support and empathy and help cancer fighters and caregivers navigate the system, determine their options and create their own support systems. Frequently, caregivers experience feelings similar to those of the person facing cancer. Mentor Angels can relate while being sensitive to the experience and situation.


Our service is absolutely free and helps anyone touched by any type of cancer, at any cancer stage level, at any age, living anywhere in the world.

  • Assist with outreach events, such as our hospital events, called Socials. (During regular business hours).

  • Provide emotional support to those you encounter and ensure the cancer fighters and caregivers receive the support they're requesting, so no one has to face cancer alone! 

  • Various administrative tasks.

  • Other tasks as assigned by the Outreach Manager.


Required Skills & Experience:

  • Demonstrated leadership, organizational and follow-through abilities

  • Strong work ethic, a good sense of humor, a friendly personality

  • Organized, detail oriented, self-motivated, takes initiative

  • Excellent verbal, written and general computer skills

Time Commitment:

We offer part-time internships in Chicago throughout the year. We ask that each intern commits 12 - 20 hours/week. We can work with your schedule to determine what works best for you with how these hours are split up. Ideally, we would space these out over a minimum of three days. This internship requires 3 - 6 month commitment. If you are able to stay longer, we would love to have you, but the minimum is 3 months. 


Our office is located at 205 W Randolph Street, which is a short walk from both Union Station and Ogilvie Transportation Center. Our internships are ideal for students who need to balance classes or jobs.
