With no previous internship program to speak of, the high school is building from the ground up to offer work experiences for its students, which are geared toward sophomores, juniors and seniors. This year, the school introduced three classes to help prepare students for post-graduation — including career exploration, diversified occupations and employability skills — with the district currently gathering feedback from area business partners to generate internship opportunities tied to the coursework.
“Our hope is to provide more opportunities for our students to get real world experience and to be able to get out into the community and neighboring communities to get some on-the-job training,” said high school counselor Desha Ayres.
