Overview of AIP
WHAT IS THE ACADEMIC INTERNSHIP PROGRAM?
It is a program that provides opportunities for
high school students to have hands-on
experiences in areas of academic or career
interests prior to college or post-secondary
training.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS TO STUDENTS?
Internships help students to obtain a more
realistic view of a career area, make better
decisions about which college to attend, gain
experiences and make contacts that will help
them apply for specific college programs or
scholarships.
WHEN DO STUDENTS INTERN?
Students usually spend two afternoons per week
after school. Students must complete a minimum
of 135 hours to receive 1 unit of elective credit.
Academic Credit
