School Year Internships
After school internships during the school year can be an effective way to apply the lessons from the classroom to a real world setting. The PIC organizes a limited number of intensive school year internships through various employer partners and specific schools.
Although the names of the programs at each company are different, the concept is the same: they combine school and career directly.
Generally, students begin with exploratory activities such as job shadowing, field trips, and even unpaid rotations through various departments, at the beginning of junior year. The paid internship begins later in the year and continues through high school graduation and, in many cases, into college and even a career with the sponsoring employer. Internships range from 10 to 15 hours per week during the school year and are full-time during the summer.
