Long Beach CaLL’s Summer 2018 Internship Program connects Long Beach students to internships at businesses in Long Beach and surrounding areas. The goal of the program is to help young students (16-24 years old) from diverse backgrounds develop personal and professional skills that contribute to their success in the workforce.
Internships are work-based learning experiences with direct supervision and evaluation by an adult in the workplace. Internships deepen the understanding of the environment, expectations, and requirements of the workplace. Long Beach CaLL’s Summer Internship Program is a minimum of 60 hours, 120 preferred, over a minimum of 6 weeks between June 18 – August 25.
While the benefits for students who participate in the program include gaining valuable work experience, exploration of career fields, achieving a sense of accomplishment and earning an hourly wage or a stipend, participating businesses also enjoy many benefits, including:
- Additional staff support through assigning special projects and tasks to youth
- Increased likelihood that youth will explore career paths within your field/company/agency
- Providing an engagement/supervisory opportunity for your employees
- Increased workforce diversity
- Meeting your organization’s commitment of giving back to the community through mentoring young people
Internship supervisors play a critical role, mentoring and guiding interns during this important experience. Supervisors serve as role models for interns, enabling them to see themselves achieving success in the industry.
