Internships

General Information

Internships assist students in further exploring their career interest by providing exposure to real world work environments. The Central York Internship is a structured program that builds on the student's course of study.  Students will observe professionals in a specific industry and may have the opportunity to participate in hands-on activities. The experience is also intended to improve employability skills through mentoring and coaching. 

Internships are overseen by Central’s Workforce Readiness Coordinator and a Worksite Host. Together the internship team will work with the student to identify learning objectives for the internship experience. Students are assessed on their work performance.

***Internships must be pre-approved and coordinated through the Career Center in order to obtain academic credit. 

***Interns are required to adhere to worksite policies for their internship host which may include background checks, screening, and dress code requirements. 

Interested students should complete the following process:
