Each spring, eleventh grade students will have the option to apply for a two-week in-person internship placement for summer. Internships will provide highly motivated rising high school seniors hands-on opportunities in their desired field. Internships are designed to provide valuable work experience for students as they explore career options. Depending on the nature of the work, some positions will be more hands-on while others are more observation. In some cases, an intern will follow the direction of one employee for the full two weeks. In others, students have to opportunity to rotate among different departments. Employers determine what makes the most sense for their company.
