Hired a Summer Intern? Apply for a Grant!

March 30, 2017

If your company has hired a well-qualified college student for the summer, then apply for a Student Internship Grant from the Mechanical Contracting Education & Research Foundation (MCERF). The grants are $1,000 each and your company may apply for up to two until the end of this year. The grant will help cover the intern’s salary and expenses.

You already understand the benefits of hiring a bright young person to help out with project management, office systems, scheduling, estimating and other tasks that help him or her to learn more about the mechanical contracting business. The student gains valuable on-the-job experience and your company benefits from a new perspective, technical savvy, endless energy, an eagerness to learn and an extra pair of hands. There are only winners when you hire an intern, and the grant gives your company an extra bonus.

Applying for the grant is easy. Complete the form and just send it in. The check will arrive in about a week.

So…what are you waiting for? Apply today!
