"Internships are an important part of exploring what the working world looks like for high school students. In a world of so much academia and book knowledge, students need opportunities to explore what the practical applications of their knowledge and interests look like and be able to experience different career paths, before committing to a study path that may or may not be what they expect. High School internships also offer students a chance to gain practical experience and develop a relationship with a mentor who can guide them, support them, and inspire them to succeed in their chosen field." - Justine Ginsberg, BSN, RN Community Health Coordinator, Farmington Valley Health District
