Student Internships

Internships are currently available to juniors and seniors and offer an excellent opportunity to work alongside a professional in the community. This is a semester course and students attend the internship during one 80-minute period every day or, if the student's schedule allows, two 80-minute class periods every day. Additional coursework is assigned throughout the semester. See your guidance counselor today to find out how this exciting course can be added to your schedule. For more detailed information, please follow the link below to the Internship Handbook.

An application, three teacher recommendations, and completion of the Internship Handbook are required for admittance into the program. Links to these documents are provided below. Contact Mrs. Niebrugge at (217) 639-5118 for more information or send her a message.
