Learn and Earn Internship PARENT Information Session – March 9, 2026

Dear Parents and Guardians of Current 11th-Grade Students,

We are pleased to invite you to attend our Learn and Earn Internship Information Session on Monday, March 9, 2026, from 5:30 PM to 6:30 PM. The meeting will be held at CTEC, 2101 Lobdell Blvd.

During this session, families will receive important information about the summer and school-year internship opportunities available to current juniors. We will discuss program expectations, transportation options, and key details to help students successfully participate. There will also be time to answer any questions you may have regarding internship placement and participation.

This is a valuable opportunity to support your student as they prepare for meaningful real-world work experience this summer or during their senior year. We encourage all parents and guardians of 11th-grade students to attend.

We look forward to seeing you on March 9. Thank you for your continued support of your student’s future success.

Sincerely,
