= = home, Business & Community Partners = =

= CAREER INTERNSHIPS 2012-2013 = The internship program is designed to provide students with real-world experience in identified areas of career interest by working in partnership with nearby businesses and industries, schools, medical facilities, government, and other community and service organizations. Cooperating partners act as mentors, guiding the student interns as they work toward gaining practical experiences that align with their personal learning goals. Each student intern gains knowledge of the entry-level requirements of a profession and experiences the real life work environment.

Career internships may be paid or unpaid. Credit will be determined by number of contact hours and other requirements identified in the Career Internship guidelines and determined by consultation with the School-to-Career Coordinator. A grade of pass (P) or fail (F) will be given. Students interested in participating in a Career Internship should see the School-to-Career Coordinator.
