A lot more room for people to learn about internships.
Students at Aldo Leopold Charter School invited members of the public to their Fall Semester Internship Showcase on Dec. 4, 2019, at their new school building on the WNMU campus.
The students each did a short presentation, explaining what they did in their internship and what they learned. Many of the students interned jobs which were similar to one in which they thought they might want to have as a career. Many of them said they would like to continue on that path in their educations, while some said they found out that the job was not what they had thought it would be. Interning is a time for finding out what they really would like to do.
Catalina Claussen, Internship Coordinator said that the program currently has 65 students. “The students are required to participate in one internship per semester from 10th grade on. They graduate with a total of 6 semesters of internship. They can choose between working on a Youth Conservation Corps crew which is murals, eco-monitoring, trails, archaeology, or a garden; or they can set up a one-on-one internship with a community partner.”
