WCHS Internship/WBL
The Internship Program at Winston Churchill High School is designed to provide support to students pursuing internships during their school day. This includes resume prep, guidance and support in searching for opportunities, and interview prep as needed. The purpose of an internship is to provide hands-on experiences related to the major a student is interested in pursuing, allowing the student to get a glimpse of careers in their field of interest and to help them stand out during the college admissions process. Additional information will be posted regarding apprenticeships and other Work-based Learning opportunities including webinars, seminars, etc.
*If you are interested in summer internships for the 2024 year, go to the Opportunities subsection for more information.
