VPS runs a Spring and Summer session for internships. Students will complete necessary coursework in the semester before their internship placement. Students will interview with prospective internship sites. If you do not receive an internship placement in one cohort, you will remain on the list for future opportunities, and we will continue to reach out to you.
If, at any time, you would like to remove yourself from the internship interest list, please email vps.cte@vansd.org and tell us you are no longer interested.
Please note: VPS Internships are NOT PAID EMPLOYMENT. They are short experiences to learn more about a particular career pathway. Internships are learning opportunities to help you make decisions about what you would like to do after high school. Some internships are paid, others are unpaid, others come with a small student learner stipend at the end of the internship.
