Internship Program
The Del Mar College Small Business Internship Program is a partnership between the City of Corpus Christi and Del Mar College. The program provides an opportunity for small businesses in Corpus Christi to grow with the assistance of trained and motivated Del Mar students that meet the specific business needs. Small business employers offer students productive and meaningful work assignments at a living wage, with a learning component related to the intern’s field of interest. The program provides an additional $5.00 per hour; therefore, the wage earned by the student is a minimum of $12.25 per hour.
The primary goal of the Small Business Internship Program is to provide support to small businesses in Corpus Christi and encourage business growth, job retention, economic development, and job creation.
