Aberdeen Township Economic Business Council Creates Internship Program with Matawan Regional High School

Starting this September, Matawan Regional High School (MRHS), and the Aberdeen Township Economic Business Council (EBC), will be collaborating on a project to establish an internship program for MRHS seniors who want to intern at Aberdeen-based businesses.

EBC Chairman Carmine Visone will be working with Assistant Principal Sean Cronin to place eligible students with businesses that match the student’s interests and field of study.

Businesses who would like to host an intern are asked to notify Aberdeen Township Business Liaison Maxine Rescorl, as soon as possible at (732) 583-4200 ext. 101. A database of interested businesses will be created to present to the students, so they are able to see what opportunities are available and subsequently select a position. Once a student selects a position, Assistant Principal Cronin and Carmine Visone will provide a personal introduction between the business and the student before the internship begins.

Businesses will be responsible for offering part-time hours, which can also include weekends and holidays. Compensation for the student to work will be at the discretion of the business. Business owner must complete an evaluation form (which will be provided to them) based on the student’s performance, attendance, etc.

“This is an effort to bring the community closer together with the businesses of Aberdeen,” said Visone. “It is a great way for businesses to recruit new employees once graduation is completed, as well as, provide a positive impact to those students who wish to gain work experience and enhance their field of study through an internship.”
