On April 5, " Jeanne Finan <[log in to unmask]>" said, in part: ...But how to get funding for PAID internships? I'd like to here from some museums (or students who have done paid or unpaid internships) on how they creatively solved this problem." I have just finished filing an application for summer student employees through a (Canadian) federal government-funded program. My institution has also applied for provincial summer student employees to work as summer guides. I would be willing to include training and these positions could be considered internships if we ever found students to fill them who were interested in pursuing a career in museums. However, there are no appropriate courses in P.E.I., so we are liable to be hiring programmers, historic gardener and guides who have little or no interest in working in museums. Of course these programs do not pay very much - minimum wage here is $4.75 p.h. and we have no funds to top up. Any Canadian students interested in museums work should haunt their local museums - especially in smaller communities where we have to use these programs to be able to open our doors in the summer.
