Students who wish to explore career interests may set up a week-long internship of their choice with a sponsor willing to share their expertise through a job shadowing experience. A minimum of 30 hours is required on-site for this non-paying "job." All students must turn in an evaluation of their work from their sponsors, and a journal chronicling the experience.
This year's career projects are:
Arts - Catherine (Freelance costume design); Elizabeth (Music
and promotion); Josef (comedy theater production); Marissa (Fashion
design); Nicholas (Music/Band); Victoria (Music and the World
of Ideas)
Business - James (Stock broker and financial consulting); Rebecca (Real estate); Robert; Taylor (Sales and merchandising)
Education - Hayley; Lauren (learning disabilities teacher)
