Connecting with Community and Business
Collaborating on work-based learning opportunities for our students
Celebrating the successes of our students.
Internships and Job Shadow Experiences
Internships and Job Shadow Experiences are highly structured, time-limited, career preparation activities in which students are placed at a worksite to participate in and observe work first hand.
​
They provide students the opportunity to learn by observing and doing real work and being productively engaged in the workplace. They may provide the opportunity to work in teams, work on a project, or rotate through a number of departments and job functions.
​
Sustaining and growing Internships and Job Shadowing opportunities depends on maintaining positive relationships with our local business professionals who are providing these opportunities.
