The Internship is the hands on phase of the Business/Marketing Internship program. Students participate in a job experience outside the school building. Internships can be attained through a placement with instructor, through an internship search, or through a student�s current working situation. Student work with their teacher to attain an internship experience. The goal of the seminar/internship is that students research and gain experience in a career area they are interested in as a profession. The seminar is part of the business/ marketing internship program and focuses on workplace skills related to students working at their internships. Business topics and projects will be assigned and discussed throughout the year. You will prepare employment materials, learn about many careers, practice team building skills, improve self-management, and experience how business management applies to every career choice. This course is required as part of the Business/Marketing Internship program
