PURPOSE:
To provide current Marist juniors (rising seniors) with an internship experience that will help them explore and/or develop a specific career interest.
PROGRAM:
The intern would be involved in the day-to-day tasks of the company/organization. An important component of the program is for the intern to contribute to a meaningful project or activity which supports or advances the work of the company/organization. Additional activities could include shadowing and administrative tasks.
INTERNSHIP SUPERVISOR:
One employee within the company/organization will serve as the direct supervisor for the intern. They will help coordinate activities, monitor the progress of the intern, and serve as the liaison with the Marist program coordinator.
TIMEFRAME:
The internship is to take place over the summer. The length of the internship can vary, based on the need of the company/organization. The general idea is for the internship to last between one to six weeks. The intern will coordinate specific dates with the site supervisor.
PROCESS:
Students will apply for the program in January & February and will designate which internship matches their specific career interest. A Marist School committee will meet in March to select the most qualified candidate for a specific internship. The company/organization supervisor would then interview the candidate to determine if there is an acceptable match. Once the supervisor approves a candidate, they would coordinate a specific timeframe for the internship.
REMUNERATION:
There would be no cost to the company/organization for the program. The intern will receive no pay, unless it is required or preferred by the company/organization.
EVALUATION:
At the completion of the internship, both the supervisor and intern will be asked to complete a short evaluation to review the intern’s experience and the program’s effectiveness.
