Internships

What is an Internship?

An internship is an official program offered by an employer to potential employees. Interns work either part time or full time at a company for a certain period of time. For high school students, that is often during summer break.

Students who participate in internship opportunities gain real world experience in the career or subject they are interested in. Internships offer specific learning objectives, specific job tasks, and often have a start and end date. Internships are most often offered during the summer for high school students, however, they can be offered any time throughout the year.

Watch for specific opportunities as they become available throughout the year. You may also want to check in with your building's Career/Opportunity Center.
