Host Student Internships

The premiere form of work-based learning is student internships or a high school practicum course. Practicum courses are offered during a student’s senior year of high school and allow the student to earn school credit while leaving campus to work in a job relevant to his/her career pathway. These internships can be paid or unpaid and must allow the student to work a minimum of ten or fifteen hours a week.

Provide students with Field Experiences Opportunities 

The best way to build student interest in your industry is to provide hands-on learning of what it means to work for you. Invite a class to find out exactly what you do on a day-to-day basis. Your organization or business can host a tour of your facility so that our students can hear firsthand what it takes to work in your field.

Guest Speakers and Other Opportunities to Engage with Students

Can't host at your location? No problem. We invite you to come to a campus to provide talks, demonstrations, or activities related to your industry. Industry representatives are a wonderful complement to CTE classrooms. We invite you to enter the classroom and support learning by helping students make connections to real-world careers.
