Hosting an Intern

Are you a business or organization interested in learning more about hosting an intern through C-TEC Youth Services? We’re here to help! Internships are a great way to help the emerging workforce gain experience and find a career field that’s a good fit. However, they’re also a great way for businesses to vet potential future employees. It’s a low risk opportunity to see if a C-TEC participant may be a good match to meet your future employment needs.

Work with you to find out your specific needs and what’s important to you for a good internship match
Provide you and the direct supervisor at your site with support to identify and structure a quality internship position
Train and approve all C-TEC participants before referring them for a potential internship
Provide workers compensation insurance and a stipend or wage for the intern
Check in regularly with you and the intern to support and address any needs that arise
Provide the intern the opportunity to earn college credits for the experience
Assist the intern to obtain any necessary supplies, tools, clothing, etc.
