This month we kicked off
Commencement [2] Careers (C2C),
a pilot internship program delivering project-based work experiences to Lowell High rising seniors and 2020 graduates
.
Participating students have been matched up with organizations including Project LEARN, Boys & Girls Club of Lowell, The Vieras, Entrepreneurship for All,
Energy Storage Development Partners, and other amazing partners.
As part of the internship students are also participating in weekly workshops like
Social Justice
,
Resume Building
,
Social Media Training
, and
Interview Readiness
.
One student-intern said, "I think that C2C is really teaching me about self-accountability and time management. Everything is through Zoom, so it's up to me to manage my time. And it's up to me to find time to complete my internship tasks and it's my responsibility to communicate if I need help or have questions."
