Gain Fresh Perspectives While Shaping Tomorrow’s Leaders! Host Sites Needed
Are you looking for extra assistance at your company? Need help tackling a project or seeking fresh ideas from tech-savvy individuals to enhance your business? The New Canaan High School Senior Internship Program can help!
During the final weeks of senior year, our students are eager to contribute their skills while gaining valuable real- world experience. It’s a win-win for both students and employers!
What You Can Expect from the Program:
· Dates: May 20th -June 13th (End date may extend pending snow days)
· Hours: Interns complete 25 hours per week. Typically, during school hours (8AM-2:30PM), unless other arrangements are made between the host and the intern.
· Unpaid: Students receive ¼ credit for their participation.
· Student Training: All students attend two mandatory training sessions at NCHS to prepare for the program.
· Student Matching: Students will be matched as closely as possible with an internship in their skill and interest areas to ensure a mutually beneficial experience. Each student completes an application, essay, and an interview with the SIP committee.
· Placement: In April, hosts receive an email with their intern’s name, followed by an introduction from the intern and their faculty mentor.
· Host Requirements: Approve students’ weekly internship hours.
How to Get Involved: Online registration to host an intern is now open until November 1st. Please contact Kelly DelMazio, Senior Internship Coordinator, at Kelly.delmazio@ncps-k12.org 203.594.4752 for more information.
We would like to increase opportunities in areas of strong interest, including computer science, finance, healthcare sciences, and law.
