What are Career Academies?

  • Two-to-four year programs operate within different high schools.

  • Many academies offer industry-recognized credentialing opportunities at the time of course completion.

What is an Internship?

  • Interns have the opportunity to explore potential careers and build transferable skills.

  • Employers can use interns to add value to their organization and build their talent pipeline.
