Rising High School Juniors and Seniors can participate in the paid internship program in the fields of Industrial Systems Technology and Horticulture. The HCWA-SCTC Internship Program begins this Summer, as select SCTC courses are a component of the internships and run concurrently with the Summer Institute Internship Program. The number of internships is limited, with competitive pay offered at $14 per hour.
The Internships at the HCWA this summer, which are tied to the respective courses at SCTC during this term, are offered from May 24 to July 18, 2023. In addition to working within the select fields that are an extension of the internship course work, students will be assigned an HCWA employee mentor during the term as well. Course financial aid is available through SCTC to participating students, who must be at least 16 years old to participate.
“We are excited about this latest partnership with Southern Crescent Technical College, which intends to advance our goal to recruit local students to learn more about the career opportunities within the water industry,” says Tony Carnell, HCWA General Manager. “These Summer Internships provide a clear path for students to gain valuable technical skills that can open doors for them in the water profession.”
The SCTC Henry County Center, located at 300 Lakemont Drive in McDonough, will be hosting information sessions on the Summer Institute Internship Program on April 5 and April 20, at 5:30 p.m.
