One of the best ways to figure out what you like and what you do well is to try something new. Internships are a way to try something new when you have the support of the teacher, a group of peers all doing something new together, and a mentor by your side every step of the way.
If you are a junior or senior and you are looking to check out a possible career path, you will want to register for this opportunity. Juniors and seniors leave this class knowing more about themselves and their future options. We dive into topics related to college applications, career training, exploring careers, setting goals for new learning related to a specific industry, and building our networks.
The Internship experience is a semester class in which you will be required to earn 3 hours per week of unpaid time with your business partner/mentor. You may need to travel off campus or experiences could be set up right here at the Perry Local Schools. Internship times and locations are based on the student’s unique needs, interests, and the availability of both the intern and the mentor.
