One of our CTE offerings at SHS is Internship. While students can do an internship in any area of CTE, Mrs. Abana Nevens oversees the program and works with the students. Internship is a practical and supervised job experience designed to assist students to successfully transition from school to work. The Internship course is paid or unpaid experiential learning that integrates knowledge and theory learning in the classroom with practical application and skills development in a professional setting. Internships give students the opportunity to gain valuable applied experience and make connections in professional fields. Students can use Internship to gain their 3rd level class in a program of study if their internship is in that area.
