Internship Opportunities
We are excited and honored to work with the Osage Nation as a worksite location for summer internships! The Osage Nation offers several options to provide assistance, further education, and work experience to our Osage Nation members. Our partnership bridges the gap to reach more individuals looking to further themselves while also providing necessary compensation for hard work.
Youth Employment Program:
The Youth Employment Program services Osage and Native American youths, ages 16-21 years, who reside within the Osage Reservation. The program provides assistance, in the form of work experience, specialized workshops/training, and financial literacy to eligible youth. The program is designed to prepare Youth to enter the workforce by providing experience and training. Participating youth will receive $15 per hour and may work up to 32 hours a week. Youth will participate in mock interviews, orientation, and 8 weeks of work experience. The Youth Employment Program exercises Osage member preference and has limited positions available for Osage members that do not qualify for federal programs.
