ROP Career Internship provides students the opportunity to complete an unpaid workplace internship.  Students learn hands-on about a career field of their choice allowing them to prepare for their future education and employment. 

Goals of ROP Career Internship:

• To provide students the opportunity to test their interests and aptitudes in a particular career.
• To experience direct connection between what is learned in school and what takes place in the workplace (Career Internship should enhance, not replace existing ROP courses*).
• To network and connect with professional contacts for professional recommendations and career mentors.
• To gain work experience to add to resume.
• To enhance transcript content.

What ROP Career Internship is NOT:

• Career Internship is NOT intended for credit recovery.
• Career Internship cannot be used as a student’s required electives or fifth class.
