Career Exploration Internship
Noblesville High School Internship Program
Through internships at Noblesville High School, students discover their passions, confidence, and voice in a real-world context.
Why Intern?
Students who are exposed to careers while in high school are more successful in post- secondary goals. (Betterhighschools.org)
Internships introduce students to the habits and value of work, while making connections between academic learning and its real world application. (2010 report by the National Academy Foundation, “Preparing Youth for Life: The Gold Standards for High School Internships")
