Internships 

An internship is an experience in which a high school student takes a responsible role as a worker in a company or organization and then reflects on the experience. The Internship Program is a supplement to formal classroom instruction. Its intent is to significantly add to the vitality of the instructional program and to impact the courses that a student has taken.  The Wake County Public School System requires all students enrolled in a Career Academy to complete an internship in order to graduate with the academy distinction. It is recommended that students complete their internship in the summer between their junior and senior years. It is the student's responsibility to find and complete an internship. Open internship positions will be made available as they are found by the ATAM Advisory Board or ATAM coordinator via email.
