• What is the Internship Pathways program?

    The Internship Pathways Program is an opportunity where incoming or current Sophomore, Juniors, or Seniors in high school gain hands-on introductory work experience at a local non-profit organization or government agency. Internships are typically unpaid work-based volunteer experiences and do not lead to employment at the end of the internship.

    A student learns job specific skills, build their resume, and explore a career path.
    In addition, after logging 30 hours at the internship site and completing career-based assignments a student earns .5 elective credit. Career-based assignments are rigorous and require an estimated 20-28 hours of homework time, in addition to the 30 hours at the internship site time. Examples of assignments include journal entries, interviewing a professional, researching a career field, updating your resume, and creating a portfolio project. 
             
             Internship focus areas may be available in:  Agricultural Sciences, 
             Computer Science, Engineering Technology, Environmental Science, Graphic Design, 
             Journalism, Outdoor Education, Photography, and Web Design.
