Employers,

Please see the announcement of an internship program you are invited to join.  From what I understand, any employer can participate, as long as the activity falls under the seven (7) broad MEIF fields listed below.  Be sure to follow the link below and read the program information before declining consideration.

This newish program is a great oppportunity for you to access paid talent from USM while giving a true work experience to a student.

Application is now open through June 22nd for part-time fall 2016 internships.

USM Community Engagement and Career Development is excited to announce the second round of our new Canis Major Internships program! The aim is to match University of Southern Maine students to internships with area businesses. Through a grant from the Maine Economic Improvement Fund (MEIF), we are helping to fund internship positions for students to work throughout Maine in the fields of Advanced Technologies for Forestry and Agriculture, Aquaculture and Marine Sciences, Biotechnology, Composites and Advanced Materials Technologies, Environmental Technologies, Information Technologies, and Precision Manufacturing.

Students apply to the program now through June 22, will start their positions in the fall of 2016, and if accepted will earn $14 an hour. This is a great opportunity for students to explore career options, develop professional contacts, and gain a multitude of workplace skills.
