Here, interns share their thoughts on how you can play your role more effectively, keep their attention and get them excited about life after high school. There are many opportunities for teachers to help students in real life applications and these next few pages will let you know what interns think should be a part of a students education. YEK was started in 1991 by Charles and Elizabeth Koch as nonprofit organization for students in local high schools. The program is a class that can be taken in high school to learn more about the functions of the business world and of being an entrepreneur. After the class students have the opportunity to stay involved through Internships, community service, and activities that relate to business.
Internships help students learn real life applications in their field of study or interest.
By being involved in internships students get a head start on their career by getting needed experience. YEK Students learn how to buy and sell for a profit, start and maintain a successful business, the importance of networking, and how to present themselves in a business manner.
