The definition of internship is a method of on the job training for white-collar and professional careers. At Ashland High School, there is a wonderful internship program run by Ms. Hafner. The internships can last anywhere from a couple of months to a whole year. One could earn a minimum of 75 hours of community service and three elective credits per internship. There is no age limit and no fee. Some of the already existing internships are at :
- Ashland Community Hospital
- The Armory (live musical production)
- The Roasting Company
- Rogue Valley Farm to Schools
- Photography for the Newspaper
- Graphic/Web Design Companies
- Interior/Fashion Design Companies
- Tech Companies
To intern someplace not on this list, talk to Hafner and she can help make connections with the business owner. Participating in an internship is imperative to a high schooler’s success because it looks great on a resumé, it gives one experience, and creates future jobs.
