Internship Program
Seniors have the opportunity to explore future career paths by completing an internship. An internship is worth 2.5 credits and is completed in a single school semester, or over the summer. A student must reach 60 on-site hours to complete the internship. Those who apply and are accepted may complete an internship in a school professional environment during the school day, or at an offsite location after school hours or during the summer.
Any Notre Dame students interested in participating in the internship program should speak with their counselor or Mr. Gibilisco, Internship Coordinator.
