Prefer to gain experience first? Work for WIC before applying and become eligible for state sponsorship into the internship. Choosing this route comes with major benefits:

You earn your regular pay during the 5–6 weeks of WIC rotations
You keep your health insurance, holiday pay, and employee benefits throughout the internship

A Tuition-Free Internship

No matter which path you choose, the internship itself has no tuition cost. Instead, you give back by working for WIC after graduation—a win‑win that builds your career while strengthening Florida communities.
