A common complaint students have about the chromebooks is that they click on things by themselves. The vast majority of the time this is because the touchscreen is dirty, smudged, or has light surface scratches. Students can easily fix this problem by wiping down their screen and mouse trackpad with a Clorox cleaning wipe, then immediately drying off both with a dry cloth or paper towel. If you don't have cleaning wipes, a moist paper towel works just as well. Keeping chromebooks clean will eliminate many issues. |

Fall Launch Internship Program
10th - 12th Grade
Interested in doing an internship this semester? Have you taken a career class in the pathway that you’re interested in pursuing?
The internship program will run from September 27th - December 10th. You will need to complete 100 hours over the course of those weeks which is 8-10 hours/week.
The Youth Apprenticeship Program
10th - 12th Grade
Apprentices earn:
Meaningful work experience (unlike a short internship, apprentices are being prepared to step into full-time roles)
A professional certification (signaling to employers they’re ready to work)
Approximately a semester’s worth of debt-free college credit (employers commit to up to $4,000 in career-related coursework in the final year)
A professional network (apprentices work with a direct supervisor and their teams, are assigned a coach/mentor at the company and many have regular direct interaction with CEOs and other executives)
A good paycheck (apprentices can earn about $40,000 over the course of the program)
Here’s an introductory video to CareerWise’s program and the benefits it affords students.
