BENFITS OF THE MCCA INTERNSHIP?
Recent studies have shown that mentoring or apprenticeship programs can motivate students. The MCCA believes that when students identify learning with skills that are personally fulfilling and meaningful, they are more likely to contribute to the workforce. Getting involved in the learning process at an early age helps them increase their individual market value for future employment as well. Working in a business environment, interns see the relevance of certain knowledge and skills. Therefore, their own education becomes more meaningful to them.
HOW TO BECOME AN INTERN?
Each student is carefully screened by the MCCA and the Intern Committee to see that they are suited to and prepared for the work environment. Students interested should follow the instructions on the MCCA website and summit application along with other material no later than May 1st to be considered for this year. Over 150 interns are needed this summer. Join us this summer at MCCA Sports Academy our camps provide young leaders opportunities to earn while they learn. Our camps serve children and young adults from the ages of 5 to 18. Each camp is centrally located so interns have access to transportation routes. MCCA campers are offered swimming, sports, music, art, nature activities, field trips and much much more. Camp hours are from 7am to 5pm Monday through Friday and weekend residential camps are from 2pm Friday to 5pm Sunday. The focus of our camp ministry is on creating a structured, caring and fun environment for all.
