This serves to both enhance the student’s education while adding value to the employer since interns typically work alongside practicing professional as they tackle projects and challenges on a daily basis.

The formidable objective of Spring Branch Independent School District is to double the number of students completing a technical certification, two-year degree or four-year degree by 2017. Interns are selected juniors and seniors who are enrolled in specific course, focused and/or possess high-level technical skills. An internship can be the pivotal point for students to reach their T-2-4 option of choice.

Internship placements are based on the student’s previous electives and what they desire to study in college or employment in a career after graduation. Interns benefit by working in their specific area of interest while continuing their technical education. Students observe all aspects of the company’s operations to discover how what they learn in school is applied in the workplace.
