MCC students build Apple IT careers through innovative paid industry internships

Four Mesa Community College (MCC) students have been awarded paid internships through the Maricopa Information Technology Institute (MITI) providing real-world, paid experience applying the skills they learned in MCC’s Enterprise IT Professional for Apple Technology program.


First offered in summer 2025, the internship program is the result of an innovative partnership between MITI and Jamf, a software company creating tools for managing Apple devices for schools, businesses, hospitals and other organizations to help them control and support all their Macs, iPhones and iPads from one central system.
