Internships

Interning can be a great way to explore possible careers and get hands-on experience. Try this resource to find an opportunity:

• Ladders for Leaders - find a business for which you're interested in interning.

• Intern (try Texas Internship Challenge)

To view enrichment opportunities, students should log in to Naviance through the Leander Launchpad > Go to Colleges > Enrichment Programs.

Many colleges, businesses, and organizations offer enrichment programs in the summer for students to explore future careers. This is not an exhaustive list, nor do we formally endorse any of these options. A Google search with critical key words is a fabulous way to seek out more opportunities!
