The term Internship is used to identify the relationship which exists between Mid-East Career and Technology Centers and the business and industrial community in the employment of career and technical students. 

The term Internship is applicable when: a student has met all the requirements established for Internship and is placed on a related job, during second semester of their senior year, under the supervision of district personnel and the cooperating employer. 

Internship may start as early as the beginning of the third nine-week grading period (End-January) or when an opportunity becomes available and the student meets all eligibility requirements. Because Internship is a privilege and not a right; each Internship application will be individually evaluated. 

The Job Placement position must provide a student a minimum of 15 hours of supervised on-the-job-training per week. The job must be directly related to the career and technical training program in which the student is enrolled.
