The Sevier School District Work-Based Learning Internship Program was developed to help students investigate career choices and participate in on-site career training, and to help with successful transitions from school to careers and/or further education.
​

The internship program depends on a partnership relationship between the student, the school, and the community. Student interns directly affect these partnerships, and expectations are set high so that relationships are enhanced.

Internship Program Goals
​

  • Provide opportunities for students to further investigate career choices they would like to pursue (job shadows may be utilized for the initial stages of career exploration).
  • Demonstrate the link between high school education and future careers.
  • Enable students to develop critical skills and be workforce ready upon completion of formal education/training. Internships provide a “hands-on” or observatory experience that effectively teaches the use of these skills.
  • Motivate and challenge students to excel in their studies and become responsible, reliable individuals.
  • Connect students with potential employers and organizations in their selected field of study.

Internship Specifics
​

The internship program is implemented as if a student were applying for a job. The program demands that students show initiative, follow through, and a high level of professional behavior. When considering whether to apply, the student should keep in mind that:
  • The internship is linked to a related CTE class in his/her schedule. It is the practical application of that curriculum.
  • The internship is in a career field related to the student’s CCRP (College and Career Readiness Plan).
  • The internship class awards .50 credits per semester. Students will be given a letter grade for the class.
  • Internships are usually unpaid.
  • Fall semester applications are due at the end of 2nd semester of previous school year.
  • Spring Semester applications due before November 15th of current school year.​

What Our Interns Are Saying

I would definitely recommend an internship for anyone. It gives you opportunities that you don't have in the classroom.

What Our Employers Are Saying

​​Erica was a perfect example of what we need in terms of skill set from our interns. We offered her employment for the summer and future opportunities if she would be interested.
Les is very polished and has good communication skills! If we have an opening we will hire her. She is that good!
Jayden is great and very creative. Good team player. He is so good we hired him!!!
Thomas has been an asset to the company. His day to day work has helped to relieve a portion of my own personal workload, and I have no worries when entrusting him with nearly any project.
