TAX CREDIT = EMPLOYER $AVINGS
NH employers who donate time, equipment, and/or money to Milford Applied Technology Center qualify for an easy-to-file tax credit against business profit .
50% REIMBURSEMENT for PAID INTERNSHIPS (max $3600)
There is a new program, Work! As Learning, which provides a wage match reimbursement to employers offering paid internships to NH high school students.
50% of wages paid up to $15/hr with a maximum reimbursement of $3600- plus these programs can be combined together for even more savings!
Example for Your Review:
- Company pays student $15/hr and receives $7.50/hr back for 480 hours through Work! As Learning = $3600 reimbursement
- If it’s a CTE student, and the company is for-profit, the company gets an additional 50% tax credit through the CTE Tax Credit on wages that have not been reimbursed= $7.50×480= $3600, $3600/2= $1800 tax credit
- In addition, through the CTE Tax Credit, employers can also be credited 50% of the income of the employee who is supervising the student during that 480 hours of internship.

Students that are approved, for an unpaid work-based learning experience, are covered under the Milford School District PRIMEX insurance policy. A work-based learning experience is considered a school activity.
