NEEDHAM, MA — The classroom is about to get a little bigger for Needham High School students. A new program called the Liftoff Network is preparing to launch at least 80 internship and job-shadowing opportunities during the 2027-28 school year.
Funded by a $50,000 grant from the Needham Education Foundation, the initiative will connect students with local businesses and organizations for hands-on experience in fields ranging from entrepreneurship and nonprofits to skilled trades.
The program's goal is to help teenagers explore career possibilities, build confidence and discover what they enjoy before graduation.
