District 214 students are accelerating their future careers with summer internships. From working at an auto body shop, to sports marketing and environmental science, students are getting hands-on experience to pursue their dreams.

The Center for Career Discovery supports a multitude of workplace learning experiences, including internships and micro-internships, that help advise and affirm career choices for District 214 students before they graduate. 

All internship experiences are designed to provide authentic, relevant and meaningful learning experiences in the community. District 214 partners with more than 1,500 businesses to make internships a reality.

The internship experience is part of the District’s Career Pathway program, which also offers opportunities for early college credit and workplace credentials and paves the way for students to leave high school college, career and life ready.
