Make sure to follow us this week as each day we highlight students at BRCOT who are currently taking advantage of the opportunity to do an internship with local employers in our communities. Internships allow students to take the skills and knowledge they have learned in their classrooms and put it into real world practice. Internships are an amazing opportunity to grow your knowledge, build real world skills, create professional connections, and fast track your way to employment after graduation! At BRCOT, our Career Pathways Coordinator, Mr. Ryder, works with all students on career readiness skills such as resume writing and interview prep. He works alongside our faculty and businesses in the community to create job shadow and internship opportunities for all of our programs. #MaineCTE
Kicking off our Student Internship Spotlight week are Hunter and Charles! Hunter and Charles have been taking the skills they learned from our Welding program and putting them to work at Casco Bay Steel Structures in Portland ME @cascobaysteelstructures
Hunter said, "My favorite part of the internship has been being able to meet new people and understanding how they got to Casco Bay Steel even when they were a lot younger around my age a while ago. It just really helps me to understand that my opportunity that I have right now is a once in a lifetime opportunity that I would never give up on and will never forget.
Charles would offer the following advice to other students: "Get all your credits early so you can work instead of going to class in the morning leaves you more time in the afternoon for what you would like to do."
