What is the Carver Middle High School Internship Program?
Internships offer students the opportunity to become effectively engaged in real world settings. Where the focus is to experience the day-to-day activities in a particular field or business. Participation in this program also enables the ongoing development and understanding of acceptable standards within the workplace and provides insight into the educational requirements of a given career pathway.

Things to consider…
Students are scheduled for a semester-long internship from either September-January OR January-May in a given year.
The block of time a student is scheduled for internship remains constant. However the days of the week rotate. Typically, a student is scheduled for 3 to 4 days a week Monday through Friday on days and times that school is in session.
Student interns are responsible for their own transportation to and from internship sites.
Students need to be supervised throughout the internship experience.
Businesses are able to recruit student interns for paid positions beyond the internship schedule.
Student interns are able to provide businesses with a detailed schedule months in advance.
Internship sites will need to periodically complete the “Work-based Learning Plan” evaluating their interns performance, in addition to reviewing and signing weekly timesheets.
Potential interns are required to participate in work-place readiness training prior to the internship.
The Internship Coordinator will serve as a liaison between the student intern and business, monitoring student attendance, ensuring performance standards are met, and mitigating any issues or concerns that may arise.
