What is the Career Ready Internship Program?

  • The students are high school juniors and seniors studying Hospitality and Tourism, Culinary Arts, Mass Media and Communications and Information Technology (IT).

  • Students are engaged 20-25 hours per week for 6 weeks (June 24 – August 2, 2024). We welcome in-person, hybrid and remote internship opportunities.

  • As a fully paid opportunity by the DC Department of Employment Services, hosting an intern is at no cost to the employer.

  • In addition, the American Experience Foundation provides host employer support through additional engagement opportunities for students including field trips, networking events and mentorship opportunities for students.

What can a Career Ready Intern do?

  • Work the front desk of a hotel or cycled through departments

  • Shadow managers to understand a holistic view of a company

  • Create social media and branding campaigns

  • Research business development opportunities and contacts

  • Plan an event for internal or external clients

  • Anything else you can think of! Remember they are still in high school, but they have talents that might surprise you!
