Internship Course Information

 

Logan and Cache Internships was developed to help students investigate career choices and participate in on-site career training, and to help with successful transitions from school to careers and/or further education. To see the options listed on Utah’s CTE Career PATHWAYS click here.

The internship program depends on a partnership relationship between the student, the school, and the community. Student interns directly affect these partnerships, and expectations are set high so that relationships are enhanced.

Internship Program Goals

 
  • Provide opportunities for students to further investigate career choices they would like to pursue (job shadows may be utilized for the initial stages of career exploration).

  • Demonstrate the link between high school education and future careers.

  • Enable students to develop critical skills and be workforce ready upon completion of formal education/training. Internships provide a “hands-on” or observatory experience that effectively teaches the use of these skills.

  • Motivate and challenge students to excel in their studies and become responsible, reliable individuals.

  • Connect students with potential employers and organizations in their selected field of study.

Internship Specifics

 

The internship program is implemented as if a student were applying for a job. The program demands that students show initiative, follow through, and a high level of professional behavior. When considering whether to apply, the student should keep in mind that:

  • The internship is linked to a related CTE class in his/her schedule. It is the practical application of that curriculum.

  • The internship is in a career field related to the student’s CCRP (College and Career Readiness Plan).

  • The internship class awards .50 credits per semester. Class will be pass/fail.

  • Internships are usually unpaid.

  • Fall semester applications are due at the end of 4th quarter of previous school year.

  • Spring Semester applications due before the end of 1st quarter of current school year.
