internships
We are now accepting applications of interest for short-term internships with companies throughout the Chicagoland area.
Internships are a quick way to gain exposure to work experience in a professional environment. The Community Garage can help you find internship opportunities through TWO routes:
ETHS (Evanston Township High School) summer internship programs: We help forge relationships between local industry and this high school program (ETHS students only)
NASA (National Auto Sport Association): Spend a weekend with a motorsports professional at track events hosted by NASA Great Lakes. Interns work for a weekend with companies directly involved in supporting customers who attend these motorsports events.
