Thanks to The Education Cooperative for contributing this news to Westwood Minute.

WALPOLE, Mass.– Registration for The Education Cooperative’s (TEC) Summer 2023 Internship & Career Exploration Program for high school students will open on Wednesday, January 25, 2023.

Internship placements are offered in a wide variety of fields and students are matched with an internship coordinator and a professional mentor. Students are given one-on-one guidance on how to build a resume, boost interview skills and gain confidence in the workplace, all while working alongside professionals in their field of interest.

Open to those who have completed at least two years of high school as of Summer 2023, the program could be helpful to students who are looking for an opportunity to explore a career while they consider their post secondary education options. Students are required to complete 60 hours of work, typically over four consecutive weeks during the summer.

In addition to providing summer opportunities, students also may apply on a rolling basis for a Fall or Spring placement. More information can be found at: www.tec-coop.org and TEC’s Career Exploration page.

Applications will be accepted through April, with internship placements distributed on a first-come, first-serve basis. The 2022 summer program placed nearly 100 students in career internships, with both in-person and remote placements available.

Interested students and families are encouraged to attend one of The Education Cooperative’s virtual Information Sessions scheduled for: January 24, February 16, March 10, and April 6. All information sessions are held via Zoom from 7:00 - 8:00pm. Interested students and/or family members are welcome to attend one of these free sessions. Registration is required in order to receive the meeting link and may be completed here: tec-coop.org/career-exploration/internships/information-sessions/.

For those interested in any of these opportunities, contact Emily Manz at emanz@tec-coop.org.
