The internship program is offered to newly graduated high schools students and/or enrolled college students with varied academic disciplines and backgrounds to provide a dynamic learning environment, where interns can gain work skills necessary to set them on a path to success. The internship tier includes a rotation of work areas on and off the base that provides a snapshot of opportunities. Interns must register for the program, provide a resume, and have an interview with industry, business, and government recruiters. Once selected, the intern will be hired by TPP, paid by TPP, and work for the company that selected him/her to work. Internships are offered in the following fields: mechanical and electrical engineering; physics / aerospace, robotics, information technologies, computer science, business adminstration, videography/ graphic design, social media, and cybersecurity.

The second tier is apprenticeships. Apprenticeships focus on trade skills development and engaging local industry to mentor high school students for career opportunities in military-supported artisanship work. The SoMD2030 program has a partnership with the county public schools career and technology education (CTE) center to collaborate with the previously established CTE Tech Jobs Rule (TJR) program. TJR matches juniors and seniors with on-site work to enrich skills the they learn at the CTE. As in the classroom, the apprentices earn high school grades based on on-site performance such as promptness to work, attendance, work product performance, and soft skills. Each apprentice completes 450 hours of work per the high school graduation requirement. The students attend in-school courses in the morning and at the work-site in the afternoon. The companies complete performance evaluations for graduation requirement purposes.
