For a decade, high school students in Miami-Dade have been gaining valuable experience with a paid internship.
The Summer Youth Internship Program (SYIP) has spent the past ten years transforming summer breaks into life-changing opportunities for high school students. Launched in 2016, this five-week program gives teens invaluable work experience, a financial boost, and hands-on learning that prepares them for life beyond high school.
Since its inception, nearly 23,000 students have participated in this paid internship program, partnering with over 900 companies and organizations across a wide range of industries. Students earn not only a paycheck but also high school honors credit and, in some cases, dual-enrollment college credit, making this a perfect blend of academic and professional growth.
