Calling all host companies!
Summer is that time of year when students are seeking summer internships. If you are hosting a summer intern or would like to host a summer intern, please reach out to Beth@cma-edu.org. More information on our internship program is available at https://cma-edu.org/maritime-internship/.
CMA Picnic!
On July 13 at the CMA picnic there will be another opportunity to help support the CMA EF and our summer interns. There will be a 50 -50 raffle and a few silent auction items including Yankee tickets and gift baskets. The money raised at the picnic will help support those students working as interns at maritime companies.
