The students of today are our employees of tomorrow. It’s our job to expose students to the opportunities that exist within manufacturing. We serve as the bridge between manufacturing companies, teachers, students, and their parents to start building tomorrow’s workforce.

Internships

We are currently seeking manufacturers willing to host paid internships for qualified students in welding, machining, and computer aided design (CADD).

  • Access an expanded pool of job candidates and see these candidates in action before hiring them
  • Provide a short-term work experience that potentially leads to long term employment
  • Give students hands-on experience while they establish positive work habits
How it works!
  • Interns work in the afternoon for approximately 10 hours per week
  • Employers determine the rate of pay, at least minimum wage
  • Company sponsor is assigned to mentor the intern while onsite
  • Liability insurance for students participating in an internship will be covered by Cleveland Metropolitan School District
  • Other roles and responsibilities

 

José, a 12th grade welding student at Max Hayes Career Technical High School, is qualified for an internship.

Jose loves welding!

In 9th grade he was instantly hooked by the arc discharged by the electric current, and was excited that he could create metal projects from scratch. In his third year of welding, Jose is on his way to earning AWS certifications in MIG, TIG, and Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW).

“I would like to get hands on experience and see the welding process in the field,” said José, who thinks welding is a good career option after he completes high school.
