 About the program

WHAT IS AN INTERNSHIP? 

An internship is a unique aspect of education that integrates study with planned and supervised career-related work experience.  Students are involved as non-paid “authentic employees” receiving valuable hands on knowledge of the field of athletic training. The purpose of the program is to develop and strengthen the student’s educational and career preparation.  An internship will expose the student to the interpersonal relationships a job requires, both with co-workers and supervisors that are essential in obtaining a successful, satisfying career. Internships enable employers to assist the high school in preparing students to work in today’s business environment.

STUDENT BENEFITS

An internship provides the student with a greater understanding of career demands and qualifications.  It allows the student to understand the connection between what is studied and how it is applied in the world of work; thus it enhances the student’s knowledge of himself and his/her potential for aspiring to and reaching goals set in Career Awareness classes.
