Internships

Internships or authentic learning career experiences are an outstanding way for students to gain a more in-depth understanding of a potential career.  As students begin to prepare and plan for their future, an internship can serve as a vital tool in the decision making process to help them choose or solidify their next course of study after NNHS.  Internship participants graduate with academic knowledge, field experience, and interpersonal skills which may accelerate their progress in their chosen career and/or acceptance into a college degree or professional program and a competitive advantage in their future career.
