The WMHS Student Internship Program gives high school seniors the opportunity to gain real-world career experience through partnerships with local businesses and organizations. Students participate in internships across a variety of industries while learning valuable professional skills such as communication, teamwork, time management, interviewing, and workplace etiquette.
The program begins in early spring and continues through the remainder of the school year, allowing students to build meaningful experience and professional relationships over an extended period of time.
Before beginning their placements, students complete preparation activities focused on resume writing, interview skills, professional communication, and workplace expectations to help ensure they are ready to succeed in a professional environment.
The program benefits both students and the community. Students explore potential career paths, build confidence, and develop workforce skills, while local businesses have the opportunity to mentor young professionals, connect with future talent, and strengthen ties with Wakefield Memorial High School and the broader community.
Through collaboration between schools and local employers, the internship program helps bridge the gap between classroom learning and real-world experience.
