If you provide an internship position to the HPC program, you can expect the HPC program will either send you a qualified candidate or no candidate at all.

Before you see the intern, you can also expect every intern will:

• Participate in a six week intensive soft skills course
• Study the online jobs board (formed from the internships you supply)
• Prepare a resume targeted towards their internships of interest
• Initial interview with one or more instructors and advisory board members
• Businesses are certainly encouraged to do the final interview of candidates themselves.

Each internship will have these common traits:

• The first 8 hours should involve the student shadowing one of your employees. The business can always move from job shadowing mode when they choose.
• Student spends at least 80 hours on the internship
