Internships
At CAST, we know that every employee, including our interns, contributes to our international reputation as a leader in education research, technology, and Universal Design for Learning. Teamwork, risk-taking, and collaborative thinking are essential to the way we work. Most of all, our mission—to transform education design and practice until learning has no limits—motivates not only what we do but how we do it.
We value the contributions that interns make to our innovative capacity and knowledge base. Therefore, in addition to the project work that interns do, interns are included in meetings and other events that include training, brainstorming sessions, guest speakers and project presentations.

- participated in research prototype development teams

- collected research data in schools
