Over the course of the internship, students will apply standards learned in previous courses, but they will also work to learn new skills in order to satisfy the state standards for their specific career capstone course. Conditions for participation: - Students must complete a career pathway with a “C” average. - Students must complete the Principles course and the Concentrator A course BEFORE their senior year. - Students may complete the Concentrator B course before OR concurrently with the capstone course. - However, if the student drops Concentrator B, they are not allowed to continue in the capstone course. - Only seniors will be considered for the career capstone course. - Students must provide their own transportation to and from the worksite. - Students must demonstrate a positive attendance history over the course of their time at CHS. - Students must receive positive recommendations from career pathway teachers and the student services office. The process of participating in a career capstone course begins in December of the student’s junior year.  Interested students agree to meet during their Spring semester with the WBL coordinators to prepare for and engage in the interview process.  Students that successfully complete the interview process and commit to an internship are then enrolled for the capstone course throughout their senior year.  Withdrawal from the course is not optional once a student has committed to their internship and matched with a mentor.  Withdrawal or termination during the course of the internship may result in a “withdrawal/fail” on their high school transcript. The process of participating in a career capstone course begins in December of your junior year: The Work-Based Learning Coordinators work to place students and ensure there is a good fit between employer and student.
