NCHS Senior Internship Program (SIP)
Welcome to the Senior Internship Program! The Senior Internship Program offers NCHS seniors an opportunity to explore future careers by experiencing the world of work first hand. It also provides businesses with motivated and eager workers and a potential pool of future employees. We are proud to be going into our fourteenth year.
What to Expect:
Internships take place the last three to four weeks of the academic year.
Interns will work on-site at a business or organization approximately 25 hours per week, according to a schedule determined by the work site supervisor and the work site's needs.
SIP is designed to operate during school hours (on-site hours will be scheduled between 7:30 a.m. and 3 p.m.) but other arrangements may be made with particular Interns.
Internships are unpaid and interns will have assignments to complete off-site. These include; self-reflection journals, goal setting worksheets, and time logs.
Students have the option of being placed by the school, to the extent possible, students will be matched to an internship that matches their skills and interests.
Students may also design their own internship with approval of the Internship Committee.
Students are required to attend two mandatory training sessions on March 18th and May 19th.
