April is National Internship Month

It’s National Internship Awareness Month! Not all internships are created equal.

District C has reimagined the internship for students to prepare them for modern-day work. Unlike a traditional internship, students solve real problems for real businesses in small, diverse teams through a Teamship experience. Through the collaboration with NAF, Teamship counts as a 40-hour mentored industry project. Three NAF academies have implemented Teamship – with 599 (and counting!) total students completing the experience. As an example, students at Clarence Central High School in New York, solved a business program for the VA. During the pitch, both local and U.S. Government VA employees and executives participated and asked questions of the students.
