EMPLOYERS

Employer Costs

Educator interns are typically provided an hourly wage for completing a work project for the business. Generally the hourly wage ranges between $16-$24. The participating employer determines the hourly rate. In addition the BEC receives a fee for placement and payroll services.

Length of Internship and Work Schedule

The length of the internship is based upon the business's estimation of time needed to complete the project and the educator availability. If the project is completed in less than time allotted, the internship may be shortened. If more time is needed, the business may request the educator to continue longer if possible.

The weekly schedule is negotiated between the business mentor/supervisor and the intern. An internship 'week' may range from 30-40 hours at the discretion of the mentor/supervisor.
