Senior Internship Program

Conestoga Seniors are securing their internships for the four-week period from May 9^th through June 3^rd. The Senior Internship Program offers seniors an opportunity to explore an area of career or academic interest during the last month before graduation.

The Senior Internship Program and the students’ searches are being impacted by changes in the work force caused by Covid-19, so we are allowing seniors to do independent and virtual internships as well.  Seniors who are not able to secure an internship will remain in school. Our goal is to help the seniors explore internship opportunities and provide some flexibility as they do that.

The forms for Senior Internship are due on April 22. All information, materials, deadlines and communication for the Senior Internship will be available to students through Schoology. Below are links to the 3 Senior Internship forms that must be completed in order for the student to do an internship.
