SENIOR EEPE SUBMISSION REMINDER

A reminder that EEPE verification forms are due on April 29 for Seniors going on internship and May 20 for all other students enrolled in EEPE. Early submissions are welcomed and encouraged.

Senior Internship Program Update

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 or can opt for a virtual course outlined below.

The deadline for forms for Senior Internship has been moved to April 29. 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.
