Paid internships offered for students with disabilities Vol. High school and college students with physical, sensory or learning disabilities from any part of Delaware and the surrounding tri-state area are encouraged to apply. High school students have the opportunity to obtain an internship that will provide them with real world work experiences in science, engineering and technology fields. Eight-week positions will be provided at the lab, located in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, as well as in other locations throughout industries and businesses in Delaware.
Internships cover a wide range of experiences in many disciplines.
Internships may include interdisciplinary work so students in all majors will be considered. Special considerations will be given to students interested in the fields of science, engineering, math, education, psychology, disability and social services. Deadline for high school students to apply is mid-April. The summer internships are just one of a variety of opportunities sponsored by the Information Access Laboratory in an effort to support students with disabilities in education and help provide an increased awareness for people with disabilities. The laboratory welcomes community involvement in its efforts and invites local business and organizations to cooperate in the effort to provide internships that will help foster rewarding career paths for students with disabilities.
