Career Intern Program

Career Internship Program

The Career Intern Program is a work-based career exploration experience for high achieving seniors from the three Livonia high schools.  Students are invited to apply to the Career Intern Program during the second semester of their junior year.  The invitation is delivered to students via school email and it is based on a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher. The application to apply to the program is included in the email. Teacher recommendations (3), the student's cumulative GPA, and a personal interview with the program coordinator are carefully considered when accepting students into the program. 

Internship placements can be developed to match most career areas of interest.  Interns receive 1.0-1.5 credits per semester and work approximately 12-16 hours per week. On average, interns are at the business site four days per week.  The fifth day is spent in a seminar with the program coordinator covering topics such as communication skills, writing skills, professionalism, teambuilding, and public speaking. 

Interns must provide their own transportation to and from the internship site.  Also, interns are expected to dress according to the requirements of the internship site.
