By partnering with regional companies involved in offshore wind development, supply chain, environmental monitoring, or in research and development, we have been able to place over 25 students over two years directly into the industry, creating workforce development opportunities for the industry, and offering real-world learning opportunities for students interested in renewable energy.
MACEC funds these internship positions fully. Students are typically paid $25/hour for ~200 hours worked over a 10-week period. This program is multidisciplinary, with applicants from every college on campus, with a special focus on engineering, business, marketing, law, biology, and marine science.
