Oswego East High School Internship Program needs YOUR help!

Oswego East High School Internship Program needs YOUR help! Looking for business and individual volunteers to help grow our program.

Attention Oswego Businesses and Community Members, Give back to Oswego East. My name is Graham Brown and I am the Internship Coordinator at Oswego East. I need your help in growing our database of contacts that would be interested in hosting an intern for a semester. This is a great way to give Oswego East students an experience they cannot gain in the classroom. Some senior students at Oswego East take an internship class to acquire real world experiences in their field of interest. The biggest challenge is finding placements for these interns.

The commitment from the employer includes allowing the intern to shadow their daily activities for 5-10 hours a week for 12 weeks and completing a brief midterm and final evaluation on the student. That is it and the best part is there is no cost to the employer! If you or your employer is interested in participating in this great opportunity or would like more information, please contact me at gbrown01@sd308.org. All career choices are needed.
