Can You Bring on an Intern? From Massachusetts Maritime Academy (Boating / SuperYacht)

Myself and Mark Theissen are working with the Massachusetts Maritime Academy, this is one of the oldest maritime colleges in the United States. 

These guys are deep sea ships but many want to get into the yachting industry. 

We want to give these kids the potential for internships in the Boating or SuperYacht industry

Cooperative Education (Co-op) Program at Massachusetts Maritime Academy

The Cooperative Education (Co-op) program at the Massachusetts Maritime Academy is a structured educational strategy that combines classroom learning with productive work experiences. These experiences are directly related to the student's academic or career goals, offering a mutually beneficial partnership between students, educational institutions, and employers. Each party has specified responsibilities to ensure the success of the Co-op experience.

Student Requirements

• Work Hours: Complete a minimum of 240 work hours as part of the Co-op program.

• Project: Undertake and complete a project related to the Co-op experience, which will count towards a six-credit project grade. This project should be completed in the student's own time, unless otherwise authorized by the supervisor.
