Internships and Work Study
Qualified students may participate in our internship and work study programs. The internship program gives students the opportunity to work with employers in their chosen field. The student reports to the work site for up to eight weeks in lieu of attending class at the technical center. The student receives credit for class work; however they are not paid while participating in the internship program.
The work study program also provides qualified students the opportunity to work in their chosen field while earning class credit. Students participating in work study also receive pay for their time from the employer.
Employers who are interested in participating in our internship or work study programs should contact Mrs. Pamela E.B. Donoghue for the Bohlen Technical Center or Adam Ortega for the Howard G. Sackett Technical Center.
