Internship Success—Read All About It 

High School students have an awesome opportunity available to them.  The best part is that all they need to do is work with their teacher and The Workplace Learning Connection in they are interested in getting involved.  Together they will take care of all the details.  The opportunity we’re talking about is an internship.  These are real, honest-to-goodness internships with businesses in the community.   

What’s in it for you?  You will be inside the business, working alongside professionals in careers that you are interested in.  What you will learn while involved in an internship is whether or not you would like to pursue a similar career after you complete your education.   

Check out this link, www.workplace-learning.org to find out what your peers are saying about the internships they have completed.  Internships are great ways to help plan for your future.  If you would like to contact Laurie Worden at The Workplace Learning Connection to learn more or to find out how you can participate, just send her an email at this address:
