The Maine Tourism Association is working with schools across Maine to give students in aged the opportunity to intern with Tourism and Hospitality businesses that fits their interests. We are able to recommend these internships through two different pathways:
1) the Manpower Maine Career Exploration Program
2) the JMG Maine Career Exploration Badge.
The Manpower Maine Career Exploration Program is an opportunity for 16-24 year old students who have strong career exploration goals and want to intern in a position that typically requires a high school diploma or higher education. This internship provides up to 75-hours of paid work experience at a participating business in your region.
You are required to pay taxes on the amount that you earn.
The JMG Maine Career Exploration Badge is a 40-hour internship available to high school juniors and seniors of any age. By taking part in the MCEB you gain hands-on experience in the field, working in the industry and building connections for future opportunities. Upon completing the MCEB requirements, you will receive a $500 academic award AND class credit from your school through JMG!
