What is the Internship Program?
The Thomas College Internship Program is an
academically oriented honors program that offers selected juniors and seniors in
four and five year programs as well as seniors in two-year programs an
opportunity to learn while being engaged in career related employment.
Interns will be working in a field that is directly related to their major
and/or graduate concentration, with a professional in industry, business,
government, or a social service organization. Students work part-time or
full-time (see details below) for 15 weeks during one of the semesters.
The students are evaluated by employers and their performance is monitored by
the Director of Career Services.
Students participate in an internship
seminar consisting of reading and discussing appropriate literature, maintaining
a journal of activities, submitting a major paper related to the internship
experience and readings, and demonstrating professional growth and development
based upon a job-site evaluation.
Once in a position, students are expected to
work to their highest capabilities and to maintain the highest level of conduct.
While most internships provide payment, others do not. Students are
required to register for the Internship Program and they must pay normal tuition
for the academic credits they are earning on the internship.
If your company is interested in hiring an
intern, please call (207) 859-1106 or email
us. We will work with you to find the right
student for the job!
Thomas students have an edge in landing the best jobs in their
field. It's no secret that employers today prefer to hire graduates that already
have experience.
Our Internship program at Thomas is specifically designed to:
Get students the experience they need to jump-start
their careers
Help students make professional contacts within
their fields
Allow them the opportunity to "earn while you
learn"
