SHINE: Stowe High Internship Experience

This course is designed for students to explore the world of work through a structured, supervised internship experience. Students will work with the SHINE coordinator on pre-internship activities and preparation and then be paired with a mentor in the greater Stowe community in the career field of their choice. The student is expected to complete a minimum of 40 hours of work at the internship site (scheduled to fit the needs of both mentor and student--school hours, after school, weekends, etc.) and to attend bi-weekly class meetings once the internship has been arranged. Students will be assessed on their progress toward LSSU Mission Related Goals (Construct, Express, Act) as well as work site skills specific to the internship placement. This is a flexible, fantastic opportunity for students to get professional experience and school credit at the same time. Open to Juniors and Seniors. Prerequisite: A demonstrated work ethic. Evidence for this could be from your SHS Scholarly Habits, a volunteer position, a paid job, or a personal project you have completed. Semester Course for .5 credit but enrollment may be extended or repeated for other internship opportunities.
