For Employers
A Paid Internship Program (PIP) is a work experience training opportunity where job candidates from Integration Works intern with a community employer for up to 1,040 hours in one year. The PIP allows Integration Works to be the intern’s employer of record, enabling the intern to earn income for the work they provide to their workplace during the internship.
The community employer agreeing to the internship at their workplace incurs none of the payroll costs for the intern’s wages.
$3,240
The average amount of wages funded by Integration Works PIP over 6 months.
0 out of 19
The number of paid interns who have been terminated from their internship for substandard work performance or other good cause.
$2,400
Employers are eligible for a Tax credit worth up to this amount of the wages of each intern they directly hire as an employee after the paid internship ends.

How do employers start a Paid Internship Program?
Alter IW determines your workplace may be a match for our Paid Internship Program, we request to schedule a tour for potential applicants to assess job fit and explain workplace expectations and culture.
Next, IW sends you resumes and applications from applicants weve pre-screened as demonstrating key job readiness skills, such as a positive attitude, timeliness, personal responsibility, and proper attire.
Then, you evaluate applicants through your chosen process, such as interviews, volunteering or job shadowing.
If all parties (Employer. IW, and the Intern-Candidate) agree it is a proper fit, IW submits paperwork for PIP autorization.
Once finalized, IW coordinates with the Employer and Intern to create the Intern’s work schedule and contirm their first day.

Frequently Asked Questions
Employers must meet these key ongoing requirements.
The intern receives enough work opportunity, supervision, and training such that, by the end of the internship, the intern will be qualified to be hired in the same position at that employer, or at a similar employer, AND
The intern is given non-discriminatory work responsibilities and works in an integrated environment. That is, the intern is allowed to work together with non-disabled, neurotypical employees, and cannot be assigned work in a degrading, discriminatory, or otherwise illegal manner.
No. All PIPs are an at-will relationship. The Employer, the Intern, and IW can each end the internship with or without notice at any time. IW recommends for both the Intern and the Emplover to make efforts to maintain the PIP for at least 3 months before making a final exit decision.
WHERE
Although IW has helped our candidates connect with jobs in Ventura, Port Hueneme, Oxnard, Camarillo, Thousand Oaks, and Santa Monica (remotely), it will ultimately depend on the availability of reliable transportation. Some candidates have their own driver’s license, others rely on IW’s staff to support their commute.
WHEN
Candidates’ availability varies on a case-by-case basis. Typically, Paid Internship Program shits take place Monday – Friday, between 9am and 2pm.
I can create PIPs for a broad range of jobs to assist employers with their unmet business needs. Some examples of past PIP jobs include: a Classroom Assistant; a Video Editor; a Bike Shop Assistant; a Hotel Lobby Attendant, an Office Clerk; a Kitchen Assistant, and a Seamstress
