Work experience internships are an essential way for today's youth to experience the value of work, develop pride in workmanship, and mature personally. Internships allow students to observe and participate in daily operations, develop direct contact with job personnel, ask questions about a particular career, and perform certain job tasks. This activity is exploratory and allows the student to get hands-on experience in a number of related activities.
Students are limited to one internship opportunity.
Career major internship deviates from the traditional internship in that the workplace activity is directly related to classroom instruction and the career path of the student. A minimum of 160 hours should be completed and 1 unit of elective credit may be given. Possibilities are limited only by the imagination of the students, the staff, and the employment community. The teacher, student, and the business community jointly plan the organization, implementation, and evaluation of an internship. Internships are available upon design by the school official.
