CTE Internship This is a local course option and has many requirements. Interns are placed after an application process has been successfully completed. Students also must have completed the highest level course that CCHS offers in the CTE pathways. Internship allows for additional development of career and technical competencies within a general career field. Internships allow students to observe and participate in daily operations, develop direct contact with job personnel, ask questions about particular careers, and perform certain job tasks. This activity is exploratory and allows the student to get hands-on experience in a number of related activities. The teacher, student, and the business community jointly plan the organization, implementation, and evaluation of an internship, regardless of whether it is an unpaid or paid internship
