The Massachusetts Clean Energy Center is accepting applications for Clean Energy internships with local businesses this spring.  It’s open to those who recently graduated from a Massachusetts college or university and to Massachusetts residents who graduated recently from out-of-state schools.  MassCEC’s available funding for these internships will be allocated to employers in the order that they register, perform eligibility checks, and submit all required materials to MassCEC.  No additional internships will be available after this funding has been committed. Potential interns should apply here.  Companies interested in offering internships should apply here.  Students are encouraged to reach out to clean-energy companies that might be interested, including these companies that have participated in the past.  Employers’ offer letters must be sent to students, signed by students, returned to the employer, and submitted to MassCEC by January 31.  The internships will run from then until May 15. For more information, email internships@masscec.com.
