Electronic Theatre Controls has summer internships for students, some high school and mostly college. I participated last year and got to work with a great team in Research & Development at their Middleton HQ, performing bug-testing and development on the software behind Paradigm. It was an exciting summer, and while each week I had a rough idea what I'd be working on, I had a lot of different projects that gave me a well-rounded experience.

They provide internships as positions are needed. Summer to summer, it's hard to say what will be available, but last year there were positions in R&D, engineering, marketing, manufacturing, tech services, and in other departments. You can find out more at their website.

Human Resources said that as early as students can get applications in, they should be getting them in. By April they're already performing interviews, and well before that they're figuring out which positions they have available and who might fit the bill for each of them. I can't estimate a deadline for submitting an application, but personally I wouldn't wait past February to get an application in.

If anyone has questions about this, give ETC a call and ask for Angela Sherman. She's one of the extremely helpful people in HR who can field any questions anyone may have.

I've also heard that City Theatrical and Doug Fleenor Designs provide summer internships. Maybe JFleenor can comment on DFD?
