• We are open to all industries, but this is not a matching program. Students will make contact to pursue their own interests. 

• You must be able to provide 30 hours per week. Students who take advanced placement courses must return to school for those courses. We subtract five hours per week for each AP course in which the student is enrolled. Students will create a schedule with you for the entire length of the program so you know when to expect them daily/weekly.

• Student interns begin working at the start of term four (March 31st).   

• The specific schedule is determined by the host company. Weekends and nights are available as determined by the host company. 

• You will be referred to as the "company supervisor" and you must contact (email) the "teacher sponsor" once per week as part of the ongoing monitoring process. 

• Students cannot be paid  

• Students may not work from home, so a company must provide a designated location for the student to work. 

• Students cannot report directly to a family member. 

•  Students will initiate contact to set up a time to discuss the opportunity. They will bring their NHS Internship application to complete with you and be submitted by them to the Norwell High School administrative office by our application deadline of February 26th.
