Internships

Extended Internships

TEC Extended Internship Program is a one or two year experience for 11th and 12th grade students that combines academics with on-site training in an industry. Students develop proficiency in a field of their choosing that they are considering for a career. This program involves work-based learning plans linked to the student's high school curriculum. The time commitment is 8-10 hours/week and is individually worked out to best mesh with the student's academic schedule. Students receive academic credit for this internship experience. Students develop and maintain a portfolio which includes regular journal entries and materials developed at the worksite. The internship helps students focus on what they need to be successful in their chosen field; which, in turn, contributes greatly to their academic experience both in high school and in college. The internship helps students clarify their academic and career goals. Areas of study currently available are: Automotive Repair, Architecture, Building and Construction, Business and Financial Services, Computer Science, Energy and Environmental Science, Health Care and Bioscience, Learning and Education, Retail and Commerce, Telecommunications and Information Services, and Travel and Tourism.

The cost for the program is $900 for students from TEC towns and $1200 for students from nonmember towns. Costs may be paid by the school in some cases.
