Do you like having smart interns? Our son's High School has an internship for all students next semester. Students are required to have an internship. They get credit - and you get an intern for 2 weeks at no cost outlay to you. When we had our business we had an intern in 2020 and he was truly fabulous. I'm happy to talk w anyone about this program from an employer's perspective. Here's a little info about the program. All high school students participate in the two-week program which this school year runs from Monday, February 26th to Friday, March 8th, 2024. The program is designed to give Siena students hands-on work experience in the real world. Here are our expectations for internships whether in-person or virtual. During the two week period: -Students attend internships just as they would attend classes. -They attend their internship for six hours per day (for example, from 9AM – 3:30PM, assuming a 1/2 hour lunch). There can be flexibility here if your organization doesn't operate in regular business hours. -They attend internships over 10 days for a total of 60 hours. -Students are responsible for their own transportation to and from the internship. The School is in Silver Spring although draws from the entire DC area. Many of the older students have cars or access to cars for this time. You can also specify the year of HS for the students. -During the internship, they will use the last 15 to 20 minutes of each workday to create a project of their choice to capture and reflect on their experiences. Students in 10th through 12th grade complete internships related to their college and career goals. If you are interested, please complete this survey (link below) to let us know that your organization is interested in hosting a Siena Intern. We would love to add your information to our job bank, and we are always looking for more hands-on opportunities for our students. Thank you in advance for considering contributing to the program! (https://lnkd.in/euavzUjs) The Siena School #internship

Our students tell about the front-of-house side of their internships, but part of learning the business is the operations side of the industry. For Frances, her internship has many exciting aspects, but operations are equally important to her job and future. Go Hospitality Dawgs!

Dear Connections, It's that time of the year when our students are ready to be back at campus after successfully completing their summer internships! This internship helps them gain new skills, get practical exposure on their learnings and gain professional experience while pursuing the course. While some students have shared their thoughts and take aways on the 2 months internship, today we have Jayant Jain here to share his experience with us post interning at The Propel Labs

I was once a Psych undergrad nearing the end of my degree, knowing, without a doubt, that I didn't want to pursue further formal education, and in my field, this meant a pivot. The two marketing internships I sought out back to back in my final year were incredibly important in aligning my career path and enabling me to gain clarity on what it was I wanted to do. Fast forward 11 years, and I find myself in a position where I am actively contributing to trying to make sure all students, regardless of their background, have access to these opportunities. One such way is for universities to actively integrate internships into degree programs, helping students from diverse backgrounds to build relevant skills and stand out in the job market. Let's level the playing field 👉 Virtual Internships

Internships have been instrumental in shaping my career. Reflecting on the past 15 years, I credit my initial internships as the foundation that steered my professional journey, even with its inevitable twists and turns. Internships aren't merely a rite of passage. They're a tangible proof to employers that a candidate is ready to transition from a structured syllabus-led academic environment to a dynamic workplace. It's more than just showcasing skills—it's about demonstrating initiative, adaptability, and resilience amidst the ambiguity and unpredictability of the professional world. And these qualities aren't developed overnight or through a brief project; they're cultivated over sustained periods of hands-on experience. Yet, the demand for internships far outweighs the supply. We need to do a better job at making internships a part of degree programs, not just a mandatory checkbox, but a mandatory provision, facilitated by the university and accredited. This approach would level the playing field, enabling learners from diverse backgrounds to send a powerful signal to potential employers and truly stand out. #internships #softskillsforall
