Upcoming Session Information
The application process will open soon for students wishing to become interns in the IT Department during summer of 2025. The term will start June 4th, 2025. This opportunity is available to all students at Shorewood and Shorecrest. It is important to apply as early as possible as there are a limited number of seats in the program. Prospective interns need to meet the qualifications and interview before the start date.
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.
| ⚠️ | Now Accepting Applications |
|---|---|
| E-mail your statement of interest to david.watson@ssd412.org.
Seats are limited. Submit early to provide sufficient time for the 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 they 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.
