Everett Community College Looking For Everett Businesses Who Need Computer Help

If you own an Everett business that relies on computers and could use a little help, Everett Community College may have a win-win for you. Here’s a press release we just received from the EvCC Computer Information Systems Department…

Everett Community College’s Computer Information Systems Department is looking for organizations that need an IT intern.

Internships are from 60 to 250 hours to give students a chance to apply academic experience to a real-world project, said EvCC instructor Greg Jackson.

Students are available for projects at schools, businesses and community service programs. Interns work with the employer and an academic advisor.

Interns could work with a company’s IT staff in a role similar to that of a new employee trainee. Or interns could work on specific projects, such as Windows Server Administration, data backups, installing and configuring Cisco routers and switches, unpacking and setting up lab computers, packing and transporting bumpdown computers, unpacking and preparing new office systems for an image, delivering office computers and assisting IT in final setup steps, upgrading systems, system cleaning and appearance improvements, designing and maintaining network infrastructure, wiping drives and preparing systems for surplus.

All internships require a written job description, supervision and a willingness to participate in a mid-internship visit by a college supervisor.

EvCC’s Computer Information Systems Department offers an Associate of Science Transfer Degree, Associate of Applied Science Transfer Degree and certificates in areas relating to the computer field. Information about degrees and certificates are available at www.everettcc.edu/cis
