Futuro Verde is excited to launch an internship program for high school students and we are inviting local business owners and employers to offer placement opportunities. The intention is that students from 9th, 10th, and 11th grades, with parent/guardian permission, will embark on this valuable learning experience towards the end of the school year for the period of up to a week.

What is an internship? An internship is “hands-on” experience in the workplace where both the intern and business have objectives that they want to achieve. For the student, it is an opportunity to apply classroom learning in the real world.
What are the benefits of an internship program? Futuro Verde believes we increase our knowledge and develop our skills through new experiences and learning by doing. An internship or work placement does just that.
