Student Benefits
At Elkhart Community Schools, seniors at Elkhart High School have the opportunity to participate in internships, which can last for a semester or the entire school year. These internships, whether paid or unpaid, are designed to provide students with valuable hands-on learning experiences. By completing an internship, students gain practical experience in a career field of interest, develop essential soft skills such as workplace etiquette and communication, and acquire technical expertise. Additionally, students build confidence, expand their professional networks, and gain a competitive advantage in the job market.
Workplace Benefits
Employers also stand to benefit significantly from hosting interns. Interns can help alleviate workloads, assist with seasonal or event-specific projects, and demonstrate a company’s commitment to community involvement, enhancing its reputation. Moreover, hosting interns allows employers to influence the education and training of potential future employees while offering their staff opportunities for leadership and mentoring.
