Senior Internship

FHS Internship Program:

Purpose:

The internship course provides an opportunity to link school and work on a continuous spectrum by bringing together all the stockholders in our community.  This capstone course aims to allow students extensive experience in a workplace environment that can enhance their future in both the avenues of post-secondary education and a future career choice.  The core of the youth internship approach includes a change in the way students are taught by focusing on real-world applications.  We expect this experience to provide our students with the opportunity to connect and network with professionals in not only our community; but across the state and region as well.

 
The youth internship philosophy emphasizes active workplace involvement as a learning environment, challenging students with higher academic and skill standards while helping them explore potential careers. This program allows junior and senior students to gain hands-on experience in their chosen career cluster.
