CHPS Internship Prospective Partner Informations

It is a Board of Education goal to increase the number of Cherry Hill seniors completing an experiential learning opportunity or coursework aligned to their post-secondary interests.

The district currently has partners who provide experiences (“internships”) in healthcare, education, IT, law enforcement, local government, facilities management, and engineering for seniors in good academic standing.  We are looking for more partners in these areas and new areas.  Students are also encouraged to find their own experiences.

Do you have a business or are a part of an organization that would like to provide these experiences for Cherry Hill Seniors?  Here’s a snapshot of what and internship looks like:

• Students attend 2-3 days /week (minimum of 5 hours/week) September - March
• Internships can be in the morning, the afternoon, or after school
• Internships are unpaid, but this is not meant to be free labor;  students should be learning about the profession and participating in the activities of the organization
• All internships must be in-person
• Students apply for and interview for the positions in the spring of their junior year

If you would like to provide an opportunity for CHPS seniors, view additional information here.

Please contact Sondra Castellani (scastellani@chclc.org) the Intern Coordinator for the district.  She will discuss the requirements with you, help you design a program for the students, and do a site visit to ensure a safe learning environment for the students.
