Executive Internship
What is an Executive Internship?
An Executive internship is a career exploration program for gifted/honors students in Floyd County Schools. An internship with a local business enables students to serve as special assistants to senior officials in a field of interest. These unpaid shadowing experiences allow students to become familiar with the world of work in a professional environment. Students who participate in an Executive Internship commit to their placement for the entire school year.
