Jonathan Law is giving seniors the opportunity to be a part of a senior internship this spring.

Seniors can leave school early to intern at the place of their choice to help prepare them for their future career. This program allows students to make connections and learn how to work in their desired fields. 

“Our program is a student initiated site sponsorship,” Internship Director Ms. Burns said. “That means that students can intern anywhere that aligns with their interest, future goals, and that will take them.”

There was an informational session held on March 30 that gave details of the program. Seniors who are still interested can sign up for an internship with this link via a GoogleForm (LINK: 2021 Internship Application).

Seniors need to research and contact places they would like to get an internship and let Burns and Sylvia know how they plan to be an intern in order for them to help set them up. 

“Internships allow students to extend their learning beyond the walls of Law,” Burns said.” Students can start their post-secondary endeavors by exposing them to the field they are most interested in.”

Once a student starts their internship they will no longer attend traditional classes and will report directly to their internship site. Students can make their own schedule with their site, allowing them to continue their sports and extracurricular activities through the end of the year while also completing the internship.

“This is a great opportunity to expand my comfort zone and bolster my resume,” senior Connor Larson said.

The internship is a unique experience that allows students to step into their desired job and get valuable experience.

“It might even take away the growing curse of senioritis that may come upon me in the latter months of this year,” senior Sanskar Shah said.

Whether a student is planning to intern to get experience, better their resume, make connections or combat senioritis, this program is a great opportunity for Jonathan Law seniors.
