CTE Student Program
The CTE Industry Scholars Program supports career and technical education (CTE) high school students in advancing their education and career aspirations through valuable work based learning activities.
CTE ISP brings together
four program components.
Work Readiness Training & Support
Students participate in trainings to prepare for their internship prior to the start date and will receive support throughout the program.
Full-time Internships
Students are placed in internships at a variety of companies aligned with their CTE field of study.
Credentialing opportunities
Upon completion of the program, students may be eligible for school credit and a CTE endorsed diploma
Future employment opportunities
Students graduating with internship experiences, are more likely than students without those experiences to find employment upon graduation.
CTE ISP helps students become stronger college and job candidates.

The objective is for students to have the opportunity to apply the CTE skills and information gained in the classroom and learn from professionals in their industry. Internships will be either virtual or in person for selected industries and students should expect to have tasks assigned to them, attend meetings, and meet various staff members from the organization.

There is no way to tell you beforehand because we work with hundreds of students and employers, but the hope is that you will be matched with an incredible employer!
