COMPETE 25 Internships

STEMatch COMPETE does not guarantee students that they will receive internships - just that they will get interviews with COMPETE Internship Partner companies. If you do not find candidates worthy of hiring for your internship(s), STEMatch does not require that you hire them. We did not find this a problem in our 2023 Cohort - and are confident you will find qualified internship candidates in the 2024 Cohort. See Internship process below.

You can make an offer to candidates to start interning as soon as you would like, and they may be able to start prior to June if that is something that you want to do.

Student resumes will be available for review and ranking! Go to: https://www.stematchma.org/student-resumes

Intern Hiring Process

  1. You confirm the parameters of your internship(s), including hours per week, description, remote/hybrid/in person, location, salary, commute stipend. STEMatch shares this info with the students.

  2. After students refine their resumes, STEMatch posts all Internship candidates’ resumes on this page.

  3. Your internship lead ranks the students based on your interest to interview.

  4. STEMatch identifies a group of students for your organization to interview - including your top-ranked students (we do this to ensure that every student gets at least 1 interview).

  5. Reach out directly to the students to set up the interviews (we will let them know to expect the contact).

  6. Your team interviews the students, and fill out and send to STEMatch, the Internship Candidate Interview Feedback form. (This helps us get useful feedback to students, and measure/improve the effectiveness of COMPETE).

  7. After you interview students, you make the offer directly to the student (and inform STEMatch).

  8. Manage the intern(s) via your standard processes.

  9. Provide an update Candidate Feedback form for your intern at the conclusion of the internship.
