How Do Students Select an Internship?
- Each student must find his or her own internship based on a personal, academic, or extracurricular interest, or future career goal.
- We help students search based on previously successful internships, but we do not place students.

- Students then apply to the Senior Internship Program at Masconomet.

The Role of the On-Site Guide
- The On-Site Guide is the expert in the field of interest to the student. The student reports to this person while at the internship.
- While the amount of supervision required will vary, it is assumed that the guide will know what the intern is doing day-to-day. The guide and intern will meet on a regular basis to discuss expectations and responsibilities.
