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 at a job relevant to his/her career pathway. These internships can be paid or un-paid and must allow the student to work a minimum of ten (10) hours a week.

Provide Field Experiences

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 where 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 compliment to the career classrooms. We invite you to enter the classroom and support learning by help students make connections to your real-world career. 

Many district schools, from elementary to high school, offer on campus career and college days. Your company is encouraged to exhibit in an environment that allows for one-on-one conversations with students about career opportunities in your field.
