About the Program

This dynamic internship program offers students the ultimate opportunity to develop essential professional skills while gaining real-world experience. Over the fall semester, students participate in several job shadow experiences across various industries, allowing them to delve into different career paths. In addition to hands-on learning, students engage in resume building, interview preparation, and career exploration activities. During the spring semester, participants intern Monday through Thursday, with a dedicated class every Friday to reflect on their experiences. The course also provides opportunities for community service through client connected projects.

North Kansas City Schools is dedicated to equipping students with skills and experiences for future success. Our Professional Internship Program empowers juniors and seniors to extend learning beyond the classroom through hands-on internships. These experiences develop professional skills, confidence, and adaptability which lay a strong foundation for lifelong achievement.
