Work-Based Learning
For Students
MCPS grade 11 and 12 students can gain work-based learning experiences through apprenticeships and internships.
Apprenticeships offer students the opportunity to work for an employer earning at least minimum wage and gaining in-demand job skills that often lead to a full time job with education benefits after graduation.
Internships offer students the opportunity to work in a paid or unpaid experience. Internships are authentic work experiences that build professionalism skills. Internships are a great way to explore careers, build a resume and gain valuable new skills.
