Throughout the year, WHSAD has expanded its network of partners and interested firms for our Architecture Preservation Program. Once again, many of these organizations are committed to sponsoring paid summer internships as extended learning opportunities for our students to prepare for the work force.
For students who meet the requirements, our summer internship program provides valuable on-the-job experience to start exploring career options. It is an exciting first step in building self-confidence and skills that are neccessary to understand the challenges of applying for jobs. It is also an opportunity to network and build the resume that will give them a big advantage over others, whether he/she plans to head to college or the workforce after graduating from high school.
Listed below is key information:
- Students required to go to summer school are not eligible for an internship
- Students must be at least 16 years old by June 1st and have working papers
- Commitment for the entire six-week period (no vacations, summer camps, etc.)
- Tentative starting date, Monday, July 7th through Friday, August 15th.
Information packet with details of job descriptions and workshops to assist students in the application process can be picked up from our Guidance Counselors, Ms. Bruno, Mr. D’Amato, or Ms. Wilson. Please encourage your child to pick up a packet and help him/her review the list of job offerings and explore the different internship opportunites available for the summer.
