Am I Eligible for an Internship?
Each internship is unique, with specific requirements and qualifications tailored to the opportunity. Most internships are designed for students between the ages of 16 and 22, including high school students, those pursuing an associate’s degree, and those working toward a bachelor’s degree. These experiences provide valuable hands-on learning and skill development to help students prepare for future careers.
What's an Externship?
An externship provides educators with up-to-date business and industry insights, equipping them with real-world knowledge to bring back to the classroom. By integrating these experiences into their teaching, educators can better prepare students for the next steps in their careers, ensuring they have the skills and understanding needed to succeed in today’s workforce.
