We recently received information about the Mitre Corporation Summer Internship Program for interested 9th and 10th grade students at CMIT North High School. Applications for the paid STEM internships will be accepted through the end of February 2019. MITRE is located in McLean. Students from Prince George's County who participated in the internship program last summer rode the METRO to the Tyson's Corner stop and were able to take a shuttle to the MITRE building. Here are two websites with additional information about the summer internship: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fddq2czxYzA - YouTube video introducing MITRE’s High School Internship https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7skHl7SxbRM – YouTube video – MITRE: Solving Problems for a Safer World. To request the resume information fact sheet contact Ms. Smith by email asmith@cmitacademy.org. You may also contact Ms. Thomas-Loftin, Head of Inclusion and Diversity with the Mitre Corporation directly at 703-983-1082.
