TAG GIFTED CAREER INTERNSHIP 2019-20
The Gifted Internship Program is designed to provide gifted students the opportunity to explore potential career interest by working with professionals in the community.
Gifted Career Internship (11th and 12th Grades only & prerequisite- successful completion of TAG Hire Me seminar)
- Internships are unpaid. The student receives GA High School Graduation Credits for their efforts in lieu of financial compensation.
- Internships are semester long. Students will be encouraged to explore a different internship and/or career field each semester they participate.
- Students can participate in up to four internships, two during their junior year and two during their senior year.
- The internship MUST appear as a class during the students' schedules. It cannot be a "zero" period or lunch period.
- Internships can either be for one or two periods during the school day. One-period internships are referred to as single internships (requiring 70 hours of field time) and two-period internships (requiring 140 hours field time) are referred to as double internships.
- Internships are typically scheduled for the last period, or last two periods in the case of a double internship, of the school day. There are specific internships that function better in the morning, i.e. elementary education and specific medical fields. If the student selects and/or is chosen for one of these internships, then their internship will be scheduled first thing in the morning.
Students planning to participate in Gifted Internship for the 2019-2020 school year should register for the course during elective registration.
