MetroWest Chamber of Commerce Education
Initiative
Business Internship Registration Information
The Education Initiative of the Metro West Chamber of
Commerce and the Metro South/West Regional Employment Board
seek to partner with employers to provide internship
opportunities for students from five local high schools. To
augment a young adult’s education and to meet the needs of
the 21st Century workplace, we encourage you to get
involved. Internships benefit both businesses and their
employees.
What is an internship (paid or unpaid) and what is the
structure of it?
Internships are time-limited work experiences with defined
goals that take place in a business setting of any type.
Some examples are:
An internship in accounting may focus on understanding
accounts payable and receivable, purchase orders and other
basic accounting functions; the work schedule for this
placement may be executed on a part-time basis over the
course of several weeks or on a full-time basis in the
summer months.
An internship in the field of nursing/medicine may be
based in a hospital or other healthcare facility. An intern
may rotate through several departments shadowing clinicians
in ophthalmology, cardiology, nutrition, physical therapy
and a host of other disciplines. The medical environment may
require morning shifts in order to afford an intern the
maximum exposure without any disruption to clinician and
other support personnel schedules.
Architectural interns may learn CAD or other computer
specific design programs that are typically used by
architects and engineers. Interns may also be introduced a
host of licensure requirements including environmental
compliance, historical commission guidelines and city
planning regulations that all factor in to the execution of
a project
The specific dates and hours for an internship are
determined in a mutually agreed upon contract between the
intern and the employer.
If your business can provide one or more internships in any
career field, or if you would like to learn more about this
Initiative in your local area, please return the attached

We thank you in advance for your support of the young adults
in our community.
