Mount Wachusett Community College provides students with many opportunities to participate in internships and work studies. Internships and work studies at MWCC suit students of all degrees and programs.
Although internships and work studies are similar, they do have distinguished differences. Work studies are paid positions on-campus that have been awarded by financial aid, while internships are usually unpaid (non-profit) positions that take place typically off-campus. It is common for internships to be provided by the professor and are required as curriculum depending on the program or major.
