INTERNSHIP
One half of your school day, 14 hours a week, is spent on internship. This is an exciting way to learn about the world of work, career opportunities, real world skills while exploring your talents and interests. Some of you will eventually major in these fields in college while others will learn more about American culture, professionalism, and personal growth. Hopefully, all of you will have a life changing experience that is inspiring.
HOW WILL YOU GAIN CREDIT?
