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.
