Internships for high school, college, and graduate students are available with a particular focus on collections support, archival support and programming. Internships are defined as supervised practical training for students for a specified amount of time or number of hours. Specific projects will vary according to individual needs and goals of the student and HSCC. Traditionally, internships are offered in the fall or spring.
