Term ScheduleW24

Winter 2024 Session

The application process is open for students wishing to become interns in the IT Department for Winter of 2024. The term will start December 6, 2023. 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 in the program (for Winter 2023/2024 session, there will be 5 seats available). Prospective interns that meet the qualifications may be selected based on how early they apply, their interview and test results.

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 stated qualifications.

⚠️	Deadline for Winter session, November 22nd, 2023.
E-mail your statement of interest to david.watson@ssd412.org. Seats are limited. Submit early to provide sufficient time for 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 Wednesdays and Saturdays (see dates below).

On the same day as the interview, students will take a written 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.
