MSSD Internship Program (MIP)

The internship program involves students in employment opportunities. Students, with the help of their transition specialists and work experience coordinator, develop learning contracts with employers.

The jobs are in four types of environments: highly structured in-house, in-house, the Gallaudet community, and the non-Gallaudet community. The type of job environment students are placed in depends on the skills they have.

Students are encouraged to progress from the most structured job environment to the most independent, progressing through several jobs over a period of time. The interim Model Secondary School for the Deaf (MSSD) graduation requirements include a requirement for one credit of work experience.
