Launch Internships 

The Launch Internship Program is a professional internship program where students gain first-hand experience in a high-interest career. High school students develop skills and gain valuable experience in internships aligned with industry clusters. 

Internships are typically 75-110 hours, around 5-10 hours each week. These hours can be completed virtually, hybrid, or in-person. Students who complete the program successfully may be eligible for fellowship grants (financial incentives) and earn high school credit. Optional no-cost college credit is also available.

Students will be ready to thrive in their internships because of the professionalism training and ongoing coaching that is provided by DPS Navigators. Additionally, Navigators will provide case management services and logistical support to students throughout the program.
