Career Readiness and Internship Program
We are excited to announce a new addition to our leadership curriculum that will begin this fall for students graduating in 2025 and later. The Career Readiness and Internship Program is a five-year initiative that allows students to explore their career interests while applying leadership skills and knowledge to real world situations.
Students will complete yearly requirements that help set them up for future success no matter what post-secondary life opportunities they pursue – mock interviews, job shadowing, internships, and practicums. Our program exceeds the expectations of area schools allowing your student to have opportunities that others may not have until after high school.
Our teachers and administrators have worked on the program requirements and curriculum over many months, and all the details will be finalized by the time we return to school in August. In the meantime, we have an overview of the program and answers to questions you may have are included on this page.
The Career Readiness and Internship Program is an initiative that sets Leadership Prep students and graduates apart from both public and private school graduates. We are confident the personal growth and career exploration will be one of the highlights of students’ experience at LPS!
We can’t wait to get started this fall!
