An Internship involves a student in a semester long work based experience. The internship placement is linked to a class they are currently taking and coordinates with SEOP goals. The student is placed in a work environment they are interested in. They work four hours a week and learn a variety of skills that are involved in their area of interest. Internships are for credit and at Cottonwood are graded on a pass/fail basis. Internships are usually unpaid, but can be paid. They can take place after school for a 9th period credit or during the school day 7th or 8th period. Applications can be picked up in the Career Center. Eligibility to participate in an internship is approved by the student's counselor and Mr. Palmer. Kristin Garbett the Work Based Learning Specialist will coordinate the placement and work with the students throughout their internship.
