How can CAREERS help me place my students in an internship program?
CAREERS’ help placing students begins with workshops to educate students and parents about career paths in the trades, industrial technologies and health services.
CAREERS also recruits employers to take on student interns and can help you interviews students for placements.
After the internship begins, your CAREERS field director will support you in liaising with the employer if necessary.
To get started, book an in-class workshop or parent evening with CAREERS.
