Instructions are a good thing to read (wink!): |
Examples below! |
|
Most high schools don't have internships like LINK! Add a short description of what LINK is, describe it as if you were talking to a stranger who's never heard of Durango or AHS.
Include 1. The timeline- three weeks, no classes 2. The purpose and benefits of LINK! (It's okay to say it's a really amazing opportunity and you feel super lucky, you know... if that's how you feel.) 3. The LINK logo 4. The LINK website |
LINK INTERNSHIP
Example: Animas High School offers a unique program to their juniors. Leading Internships for New Knowledge sends juniors on three week internships in the field of their choice. During LINK, students have no regular classes as they spend 30-40 hours a week with mentors in the workplace, learning how to apply their skills outside the classroom.

Add a short description of the business where your internship was located. (Use the past tense so that you don't have to change it later!)
Include 1. An image: the business logo, a picture of the business itself, a picture of you in front of their sign... 2. A link to the business website 3. A brief explanation about WHY you choose this particular internship |
BUSINESS DESCRIPTION
Example: My internship was at Annie's Orphans, a no kill dog shelter with the mission to find good homes for all their dogs. I choose this internship because of my passion for animal welfare and my interest in working with animals in the future. Annie's Orphans can be contacted at: http://anniesk9orphans.org/ |

Track your process in confirming an internship, from the initial dreams to the final confirmation. We often forget this part when the internship is over!
Use the questions to the right to spark some ideas of what to write for each post. Don't worry about length, DO worry about writing quality and beautiful work. Future mentors, employers, and colleges might read your writing! |
