Internship

Internship is a coordinated independent study program which partners students with various local industrial, service, and professional businesses throughout the Fox Valley area. An internship allows students to work side by side with professionals for a minimum of 75 hours during a semester in order to experience the day-to-day responsibilities of a specific profession. Students do not meet as a class daily, but fulfill their hours throughout the semester outside of school according to each individual student's own schedule. The Internship Program provides practical insight and experiences that will help students decide if a particular career is right for them.
