Internships are scheduled to start in-person for the 2021-22 school year. Internship Coordinators will use the approved MCPS forms and agreements to confirm student Work Based Learning (WBL) experiences with employers. Students will not be required to complete the WBL COVID waiver form to participate in a in-person WBL experience. Additionally, WBL experiences may include Virtual Internships and/or a Hybrid Internship where the employer facilitates a WBL experience that includes a virtual and in-person WBL schedule. Finally, students will have the option to start their WBL experience with a Capstone Project and transition to an in-person and/or virtual internship experience when the opportunity becomes available with an employer.
An internship is a directed, practical learning experience, outside of the normal classroom setting, in which students sharpen skills, gain experience through structured and monitored work-based learning experiences. Students apply academic concepts, mastery instructional objectives in a professional settings, and develop a direct primary approach to identify organizational operation of local professional companies.
