Would your company or organization like to get connected to the up-and-coming bright minds of the future workforce? The students at Kearney High School’s Internship Program are qualified, motivated young people who have expressed interest in learning more about your career field. We are looking for companies and organizations that would like to host an intern and make a difference in a young life. Students in the fall 2021 session will be available August 30-December 10, but if there is a need for a longer period, that can be discussed as needed. Internships are typically unpaid, though paid internships are always welcome.
