Apprentice in an accounting 

We have an opportunity for students to work as an apprentice in an accounting firm in Gaithersburg. They are looking for students to start now after school hours, work through the summer and then through their senior year. It is an excellent opportunity for students to work in a small accounting office and get a lot of mentorship. I suspect they will be very flexible about the schedule if they can find interested students to work.

Please make sure that any student you approve for the opportunity has a resume and cover letter uploaded to their Work Based Learning Navigator Portfolio so I can forward them to the employer. If a student requests the opportunity but does not upload a resume and cover letter I don’t have anything to submit to the employer.

CAMT

• Please review the Application Guidance: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1zFgY13Kqicir2teqXcy2qsPlkFT0ZLkKo-qz9dK0Kdc/edit?tab=t.0. None of the applicants completed the part about registering for NAA. Please speak to any students from your school who applied so they complete that registration.

• Please reach out to me if the student from your school is in 10th grade. This program is for Juniors so I need to know why the student as listed as a 10th grader.
