Internships in the workplace or
in community organization are
important for students to
develop an understanding of
professions that interest them
before they enter college or the
job market. Students in the
Internship Program will be
assigned to a business or an
organization that matches their
interest in a future profession.
They will receive credit toward
graduation; therefore, the
employer and the Internship
Supervisor from the high school
will evaluate them each term.
The Internship will last one or
two semesters and will require
students to intern a minimum or
five hours per week During the
Business Technology Department's
Job Shadowing Day, students will
shadow a professional in a
career in which the student is
interested. This experience will
assist the students in
evaluating a profession before
they make the college
major/career choice. Each
student will have the
opportunity to tour a job site,
"shadow" an employee, and
participate in some workplace
activities. Job Shadowing Day
also helps the employers prepare
the future workforce and promote
potential long-term mentoring
relationships between the
business community and the
schools. Many of the students
may return to their Shadow site
as an Intern or an employee.
