As the summer rapidly approaches, TechBoston is still looking for more companies willing to provide students with summer opportunities. A summer job allows a student to apply the skills they have learned in the classroom in a real-world environment while providing valuable assistance to their employer. Don't miss out on bringing talented TechBoston students into your company!

Step One
Employers interested in hiring a TechBoston student(s) should contact Joe Chard, TechBoston Employer Organizer for the Boston Private Industry Council (PIC).

Step Two
Employer works with Joe Chard to establish a job description that will be used to recruit specific BPS students from TechBoston programs to fill the opening.

Step Three
Joe Chard forwards the finalized job description to specific Boston Private Industry Council Career Specialists assigned to BPS high schools where TechBoston sponsors courses. Career Specialists review the job description, identifies candidates and contacts the employer to confirm interview schedule. If student is hired, the Career Specialist will confirm start date with the employer.

Step Four
Throughout the course of the internship, it is the Career Specialist’s responsibility to follow up with the student’s supervisor and use the Work Based Learning Plan (WBLP) to monitor the student’s progress. The WBLP is a communication tool that helps the supervisor, student, and Career Specialist set clear goals and expectations.

Step Five
Joe Chard will continue to remain in contact as the account manager in order to keep the employer informed of TechBoston initiatives, as well as to work with the employer on any new job development strategies.

Note: If you find that you have project work to do (e.g., website design or maintenance or IT support) but can not consider bringing on a student intern, you may be interested in talking to the TechBoston Consulting Group (TCG). TCG has teachers and professionals who work with students to do your project work. You can learn more by clicking on this link: www.techboston.org/tcg.
