CTE Internship Program

CTE Internships

CTE Internship offers an opportunity for students to pursue a career path, to gain first-hand work experience and to determine a career interest before graduation. Interns work in a mentored, paid or non-paid position, throughout the school year while earning school credit.  

Program Options

CTE Internship

A CTE Program Completer - A student that has completed all levels of a CTE Pathway that is seeking to apply field knowledge and skills. For example, a student in Sports Medicine that has taken Sports Medicine I & II would be considered a CTE Intern. This student is seeking to apply their CTE Pathway knowledge and will complete his/her internship hours in a nearby physical therapy facility.
