West Chester Henderson High School – Internship

Mar 2026 · 2nd Semester

The Internship Program is an honors-weighted opportunity for 12th-grade business students to gain professional, work-based experience while exploring careers of interest. Students will complete career-related coursework in a cyber setting while simultaneously working at their internship, with a focus on professional tools and skills that include effective use of LinkedIn and interview skills. Through placements in fields such as marketing, finance, hospitality, entrepreneurship, and other business environments, students apply skills in real-world settings and develop additional employability skills. Students will have the opportunity to select internships from a curated list of local and WCASD departments or share their connections, interview, and secure their internship positions. Participants communicate regularly with the Internship Coordinator to complete reflective assignments, conduct professional interviews, and present their experiences to an audience at the end of the school year. Students may be released for one or two periods as needed to accommodate their internships.  The workplace hours for the internship may be completed during your internship schedule class periods, evenings, or weekends.
