Student Internships
Helping Students Make The Transition From School To A Career
Internships are extended work-based learning opportunities outside the school between a student and employer designed to give the student direct practical experience in a particular occupational role. The experience is generally 6-9 weeks in duration, wherein a student spends time at a worksite performing many actual tasks and duties required for the job. Internship employers/providers have the final hiring decision in the selection of a student intern. A full time mentor or supervisor is appointed to guide the student through the experience and to serve as a model.
