MadCAP
Internship Application
The
MadCAP Internship Program provides pre-professional on-the-job training that
cannot be duplicated in the classroom. The purpose of an internship is to
provide students with practical experience under the direct supervision and
guidance of MadCAP Teaching Artists and/or Artistic Staff. All internships
are considered short-term apprentice opportunities and are therefore unpaid
positions.
WHO
MAY APPLY FOR AN INTERNSHIP?
Students who are of high
school age (entering grades 9-12, age 14+) and have previously participated
in a program with MadCAP may apply for an internship. Students who are of
college age may apply for an internship without previous MadCAP experience.
All internships are unpaid positions. Applicants facing financial strain
are asked to please make a note of this on the reverse side of the
application; MadCAP will consider offsetting transportation expenses via an
honorarium or other means. To be considered for a paid position with MadCAP
(ages 18+ only), please submit a resume and cover letter. Note that all
MadCAP Artist/Educators have college degrees. Positions open to students who
have not completed college are limited and do not include a full summer of
work.
HOW TO
APPLY FOR AN INTERNSHIP
It is the student’s
responsibility to complete MadCAP’s application form and submit it to
MadCAP. College age applicants should also submit a resume.
WHAT
IS EXPECTED OF AN INTERN?
Upon notification of

communication be established between the intern and a MadCAP Administrator
(Artistic Director or Teaching Artist) at the beginning of the
internship.
Students are expected to
take full advantage of the internship by being inquisitive, asking
questions, and taking advantage of every learning opportunity. They are
expected to do all learning and experiential tasks assigned to them.
WHAT
