CTE Internships
Internships on the Career & Technical Education (CTE) pathway are an exciting extension of the high school classroom into the workplace. They are an excellent way for students to employ their skills, gain real-world experience, build their resume, and earn high school credit at the same time. Students grow both personally and professionally, while contributing to the goals of the organization in which they are working.
CTE internships are open to high school Juniors and Seniors who:
- Have completed 1 credit (2 semesters) in a CTE Pathway. Courses must be related to the internship field.
- Have a minimum of 3.0 GPA in all CTE courses completed
- Have 90% or better attendance at school
- Have reliable transportation to / from the internship site
- Receive a CTE teacher recommendation and pass an interview
