Students selected by an employer may be contacted directly or through the Internship Assistant to make arrangements for an interview.
If accepted, is there any additional material that needs to be completed?
Prior to the start of the placement, interns will be asked to complete:
- an MIT Internship Contract
- a Risk Waiver Form
Interns going on an unpaid placement must complete a Work/Education Placement Agreement. Both forms are available through the Internship Office. All expenses related to the placement, including transportation, food, lodging etc., are the responsibility of the student.
