Our formal internship program is a work in progress. We’ll begin posting internship opportunities on our website soon. Currently, we notify local high schools, colleges and universities when we have an internship opportunity.
At some point in the near future, you’ll be able to apply for internships at our website. In the meantime, you may send your resume to employment@jacksonemc.com to inquire about an internship opportunity.
There is no absolute minimum number of hours that our internships are required to work. Generally, interns are expected to work somewhere between 15-25 hours per week, depending on the student’s class schedule and availability.
Our internships are intended to last for at least one semester. How long they continue beyond that is dependent upon the student’s availability and his/her work performance as an intern with Jackson EMC.
If you’re selected for an interview, you’ll be asked to meet with a representative from Human Resources, the person who would be your supervisor, and one additional Jackson EMC employee. You’ll be asked questions about your education, previous work or internship experience, and some other general questions. We’ll need some additional information so that we can conduct appropriate background and reference checks to help us determine if you’re the best candidate for our open position.
Yes.
