Internships

Students at Shawnee States’ Plastic Engineering Technology Program are eligible for the Ohio Polymer and Advanced Materials Internship Program.

The PolymerOhio Internship Program pays half the intern's wages up to a total of $3,000 per intern!

The goal of this Program, a part of former Governor Taft's Third Frontier Internship Program, is to retain graduates who are Ohio residents in Ohio jobs. Students get valuable "real world" training and the companies "audition" the students for future employment. Click here for some success stories.

Interns are also providing valuable technical assistance to their employers. Click here to see the Ohio Third Frontier Internship Program brochure.

Over 150 students are now or have been working in internships through PolymerOhio's Internship Grant from the State. The Program is now in its second year and will be available through at least May 2007 for full- and part-time internships.

Registration: The PolymerOhio Internship Program is administered through a web site that provides access to students and companies from all over the state. The web site is designed to minimize paper work and make the identification and hiring of interns quick and simple.
