Finding an intern

If you indicate interest in Direct Apply on the form above, BCC will promote your internship opportunity directly to our students. Employers provide their preferred application method, whether that involves contacting a designated point of contact, submitting materials online, or following another internal process.

Internships offered through Direct Apply will be advertised on the BCC Internship website and in Navigator, MCPS’s official internship platform. Students apply directly to your organization, allowing you to manage applications and communication using your existing hiring workflow.

Quick Apply is a streamlined hiring option designed to make finding a student intern faster and more efficient for employers. By partnering with BCC’s Work-Based Learning team, employers receive a curated short list of strong candidates, saving time while still maintaining full control over final hiring decisions.

Employers opt into Quick Apply and share a brief description of the skills, interests, and qualities they are looking for in an intern. Students resumes and applications are then reviewed by BCC's work based learning team. After the application window closes, we send you a short list of top candidates. In practice, this typically narrows the pool from many applicants (for example, 15) to a focused group of strong matches (around 3).

Employers review the short-listed candidates and determine how many offers to extend. Employers then reach out to students directly to proceed with interviews, next steps, or offers. There are two application rounds, these string matches will be distributed to employers on 4/23 and 6/8. 

Quick Apply is ideal for employers who want a faster, more guided hiring process while still retaining full flexibility and decision-making authority.
