OPPORTUNITIES


The Job Shadowing/Internship (JSI) program for EFT offers a collaborative partnership between Sylvania students and local industry sponsors, providing experience in actual work environments. While we cannot guarantee placement, here are some organizations with which students have completed work-based learning in past years: Allied Motorworks, GL Heller, First Solar (summer shadowing), and Allen Industries. We also have a relationship with Renhill Employment, and some students find internships in this manner.
