Internship Opportunities
What is the Carver Middle High School Internship Program?
The Carver Middle High School Senior Internship Program is a hands-on experience for high school seniors that occurs during the school day typically for 8 to 10 hours per week for academic credit and/or monetary compensation.
Internships offer students the opportunity to become effectively engaged in real world settings. Where the focus is to experience the day-to-day activities in a particular field or business. Participation in this program also enables the ongoing development and understanding of acceptable standards within the workplace and provides insight into the educational requirements of a given career pathway.
