2014/2015 Internship Updates

   Friday April 11th, I held an Internship information session for juniors. Please check in with your student and make sure they know about all the changes for Internship this year!  Most importantly, Internship is now set up to be semester long, versus year long as in previous years, with a minimum length of 8 weeks, and a maximum length of 12 weeks. Your student will be participating in his or her internship for the better part of the semester.  The program works with students across the school district, and it is important that we have defined start and end dates for each student, in order to make the best use of our business partners’ time.

   Just as with employment, Internship is very much a self managed course; students need to be diligent in ensuring they are successful in Internship. This can be challenging for some students, most especially as senior year rolls around, schedules become full and motivation can wane. Please be sure to get involved in your students progress in Internship, and contact me with any questions! Students are encouraged to e-mail me to set up one on one time where we can discuss their internship needs, ask questions and set up a plan for starting their internships!
