The Connecticut Commission on Culture & Tourisms Internship Program for historic preservation provides eligible college students with meaningful opportunities to apply and test their skills and knowledge in the world of work. The program provides on-the-job training in historic preservation as part of CCTs State Historic Preservation Office and introduces students to careers in public service.

The program:

Three competitive internships are available in each of the fall, spring, and summer terms:

Interns are supervised by CCTs professional staff. For academic credit, interns must comply with their schools requirements and be supervised by a faculty member working closely with CCT staff.

DURATION: Internships are available part-time (a minimum of 4 hours per week for 10-12 weeks) and full time (up to 8 weeks @ 40 hours for a total of 320 hours).

STIPEND: Internships are unpaid.

ELIGIBILITY: Undergraduate and graduate students currently enrolled in an accredited college, university, or community college program leading to a degree may apply. Although students from all disciplines are considered, preference is given to upperclassmen (juniors and seniors) and graduate students whose interests and studies offer some preparation for the training they will undergo at the Commission.

SKILLS AND REQUIREMENTS: Candidates must have strong computer and communication skills, and be able to work independently.
