Internship Forsyth (WBL) Advisory Board

The Internship Forsyth (Work-Based Learning) Advisory Board is designed to facilitate a smooth transition for students into the professional environment.  We encourage businesses to host interns, thereby supporting students in their career pursuits while also enhancing their talent pipeline.

Companies may offer paid and unpaid internships based on the need or criteria established for their internship program.  WBL opportunities are generally paid positions in which the student receives high school credit for their work experience.
