Empowering Future Leaders

Students must be at their internship for approximately 7.25 hours each day on the dates below. Generally, between 8:00am and 5:00pm, although earlier and/or later times are negotiable on an individual basis.  Talk to your student’s advisor.

Junior Students: 57 hours (8 days attending internship. Juniors do not attend WLE internship 12/5/2016)

Senior Students: 65 hours (9 days attending internship)

No.  Students may not intern with their parent or guardian.

No.  Each student must be paired with his/her own mentor.  Students may intern at the same location, but each student must have a different mentor.

You can call your student’s mentor (your student should have their number). Please don’t call your student directly since they are not allowed to use their cell phones at the WLE (this is Impact school policy).  You can also call Impact Academy’s main office.  We will have all students’ WLE contact information.

No.  Students receive school credit and cannot be paid during the workplace learning experience. Many mentors hire students after the workplace experience is concluded, but this is not an expectation of the program.

Sure!  Just contact your student’s mentor or advisor, and we can set up a time.

The school district will be responsible for insurance coverage, as this is a school-sponsored activity. Naturally, employers would be liable in the event of gross negligence or sexual harassment.

Your student’s Advisor will meet with the mentor and the student at the beginning of the internship to set goals, create a job description, and begin to design a project for the experience.  The advisor will visit the workplace several times during the course of the experience period.

Students will generally be available between 8:00am and 5:00pm on Mondays, although earlier and/or later times are negotiable on an individual basis.  Interns should work approximately 7.25 hours per week in order to meet their overall hour requirement of 57 hours for Junior (11th grade) students or 65 hours for Senior (12th grade) students. If possible students should be allowed to use at least 10 percent of their time (45 minutes each week) to complete school assignments connected to the workplace experience, such as writing their blog or preparing their final project and reflection.
