KHC Internships include the following:
- Internships run in segments of 1. three months, 2. a school semester, or 3. six months. Our Regular Internship includes ten hours of work per week regardless of the length of the internship, dates and times determined by your schedule within our operating hours 10:00am-4:30pm, Monday-Friday.
- However, the length of the internship and hours per week are negotiable. For students with busy schedules, Interns with other jobs, or Interns with various availability restrictions, we are willing to adjust the timeline of an Internship and shorten the hours of work per week.
