Overall, the Career Exploration Internship Program delivers adult challenges, exceptional role models, and individualized learning to prepare students for the professional work environment.

HOW IT WORKS

1. Interested students apply spring of junior year. Qualified candidates are accepted.
2. Students develop a resume and participate in mock interviews in preparation for a formal interview with a participating company.
3. Once "hired", an individualized program is designed by the mentor in order to develop a mutually valuable internship experience.
4. Students spend daily assigned time exploring the career field with successful professionals.
5. Students complete related assignments including creating websites and submitting weekly time sheets.
6. Students earn 9-15 credits depending on the number of internship hours.
7. Students attend classes in the morning, report to internship after lunch,  and return to school in time for extracurricular activities.
