Term ScheduleS24

Summer 2024 Session

The application process is open for students wishing to become interns in the IT Department for during the second half of 2024. The term will start June 5, 2024. This opportunity is available to all students at Shorewood and Shorecrest. It is important to apply as early as possible as there are limited number of seats open in the program. Prospective interns that meet the qualifications may be selected based on how early they apply, their interview and test results.

Note: Pay close attention to the time requirements. This is a very time intensive activity. Prospective interns need to be able to commit to the schedule and attend make-up sessions when conflicts arise. Poor attendance will result in dismissal from the program.

Application and interview process

Students interested in the program must send an initial contact e-mail to the coordinator. The e-mail needs to state why you are interested in becoming an intern, what you hope to gain from the experience, and how you meet the qualifications.

Now Accepting Applications
E-mail your statement of interest to david.watson@ssd412.org. There are anticipated to be 6 slots open for Summer 2024. Submit your statement of interest early to provide sufficient time for the application review and interview process.

After initial contact and cursory confirmation of qualifications, students will have an interview and aptitude test scheduled. The interview is mostly informal (no suit/tie/dress requirements). This is an opportunity for the prospective intern to visit the facility and gain a first-hand look at what resources are available and what you would be doing. Time slots for interviewing occur on Mondays and Saturdays (see dates below).

On the same day as the interview, students will take an aptitude quiz. The goal of the quiz is to confirm that the student has an understanding of the mathematical concepts required for the program. Students should also have some basic programming experience (the quiz questions are programming language agnostic so you can use whichever programming language you are most comfortable with). Example questions can be found here. The interview and quiz process takes about 60 minutes.
