Internship Program
Compensation
It is the JCVI policy that interns must be compensated monetarily and/or by earning school credit. Students under the age of 18 are required to obtain a work permit from their local high school in both Maryland and California regardless of their residence.
School Credit
If the internship is for school credit students are responsible for obtaining any appropriate school departmental approvals to determine specific academic assignments required.
Monetary Compensation
Interns are compensated at an hourly rated based on the level of education completed. Traditionally, summer interns work a full-time (40-hour) work week. Those interning during the school year should work no more than 20 hours per week. Both programs run between 8 - 12 weeks.
