Libby High School School – to - Career Internship Program
Our goals can be defined as the following:
• To expand student learning by connecting the classroom to the “real world.” • To involve students in defining their own educational goals and futures • To help students define areas of interest their skills and abilities and possible career options through
hands-on learning. • To enable students to acquire experience in career interest areas. • To give students opportunities to understand how a community functions – i.e. their roles
responsibilities. • To help students acquire knowledge and skills about career and labor markets in order to make good
decisions about their future.
This experiential learning experience is an elective class in which students must complete a minimum of 60 “contact hours” and meet standards-based requirements which include: researching career opportunities, timely completion of written assignments and regular meetings with the Career Coordinator at the high school.
Work-site supervisors are asked to provide the intern with a valuable experience that offers insight into what a professional does, the kind of work performed in that field of endeavor and the qualities that make one successful. Interns are evaluated on their performance, utilizing the Colorado Workplace Standards as a guideline:
• Communication Skills • Organizational Skills • Thinking Skills • Worker Qualities • Technology Skills
As the internship progresses, we hope that the students are allowed to participate to a greater extent in the daily operation of the site’s business, as well as being encouraged to improve their skill level.

PARENT/GUARDIAN:
Internships are typically done out in the community at a “worksite” and although the student is registered for a class, they do not sit in a classroom, but rather, earn their credit by working at the internship worksite. The student needs to be responsible, dependable and self-motivated, with a desire to learn about the career field in which they are working. Once your student has discussed the potential internship with you, please sign below. This does not enroll your student in the class, but rather assures me that you are aware of the potential internship.

Career Exploration Work-Site Agreement
Thank you so much for offering ___________________________________ an opportunity to intern at Cabinet Peaks Medical Center. Internships provide students with hands-on experiences that enhance their learning and assist them in developing professional skills. By connecting the classroom to the “real world”, internships also help students explore their skills and abilities in the context of career options. The Career Exploration Class is a standards-based program with the following minimum requirements:
• A mutually-agreed-upon schedule established between student and work-site supervisor.
Most students will report daily to the place of business during their regularly-scheduled class period, but this is flexible.
• Weekly journals and other written requirements must be submitted by the student in a timely manner.
• Mid-term and final evaluations must be completed by the work-site supervisor. The student is responsible for getting them to the school. Please refer to the employer timeline.
• Verification of intern’s contact hours must be submitted by the completion of the internship. This information may be recorded on the Hour Verification sheet provided in the packet or through the employer’s own record keeping system. The student is responsible for providing this data to the school.
Enclosed in this Worksite Internship Packet, we have outlined some of the program goals and expectations of the supervisor in providing a valuable experience for the intern. Please read them. In summary, we ask that you:
• Discuss with the student the expectations each of you has for the internship of the
beginning of the relationship.
• Work closely with the student to develop goals which enhance his/her professional skills.
• Provide guidance and support in helping the student work towards meeting those goals.
• Review and sign the hour verification sheet, checking the time log for accuracy.
• Provide ongoing dialogue with the student regarding his/her performance. Positive feedback is always appreciated and negative feedback should be offered in the form of specific suggestions for improvement
5
• Make certain that the student is not receiving conflicting instructions from two different supervisors.
• Complete two formal evaluations for the student in a timely manner.
• Contact the School should you have any questions or concerns.
• Be available to meet with the School-to-Career Coordinator to discuss the student’s progress and adjust the experience, if necessary, to help the student meet expectations.
• Provide training that covers safety and work-site regulations.
• Ensure that students do not engage in any illegal or illicit activity.
• Obtain written permission from the student’s parent/guardian, and notify the school before requiring a polygraph, drug test or background checks.
• Ensure that students are accepted and assigned jobs in accordance with the Child Labor Laws and treated equally regardless of race, color, national origin, gender or disability.
I have read, understand and agree to meet the goals and expectations of the Libby High School Career Exploration Program.

Expectations of the Supervisor/Worksite
As a worksite you can help our students by providing an opportunity to work with a professional from your business. Students are asked to complete a minimum of 60 hours of internship experience during the term and complete all of the requisite paperwork. In return, they will be given elective credit toward their graduation requirements. Students will benefit by learning new skills related to their career interest. You benefit by providing what the school cannot....real insight into what a professional does, the kind of work performed at your place of business, and the qualities that make one successful! The intern is asked to keep a journal of their hours worked, thus helping them to gain insight into the experience and to hone their organizational skills. Other benefits for the student include: increased motivation to work, enhanced job skills, insight and knowledge regarding a specific job, direction for future education and training, a letter of reference for future job search and possible future employment. We appreciate if you would:
• Provide an internship which offers the student exposure to their field of interest.
• Review progress with the intern and answer any questions they may have.
• Submit timely brief evaluations which will contribute to the student’s grade (in
packet).
• Maintain contact with the Career Coordinator at the student’s local school if
there are any problems or concerns.
• Sign the student time verification sheet.
• Provide a safe working environment and follow the recommended procedures
outlined in this packet should an accident occur.
• Provide a letter of reference if the student has performed to your expectations.

Tips for Working with High School Students Of approximately 2,000 employers surveyed on the Western Slope, 66.6% said School-to-Career students had better skills and preparation than other students they hired. What will your intern be like?
High school students want most to be valued. They are eager to engage in conversations
that are genuine dialogues and gravitate towards adults who listen to their viewpoints. They won’t listen to people who are perceived as lecturing or “saving” them.
Fairness is an important value for high school students. Playing favorites or not giving
each student a fair share is seen as negative behavior. If you have more than one student as an intern, be sure to give them an equal chance to participate.
It is “cool” to be passive. Many high school students will not demonstrate their curiosity,
even if they are functioning at a high level. Don’t be discouraged, as they become more familiar with their surroundings, they will usually open up and be more willing to engage.
The most important “others” to high school students are their peers. Peer leadership is
frequently flexible. Someone who is a leader in athletic situations may be an enthusiastic follower in another.
High school students want to be idealistic, even if their own situations may not be positive.
Although definitions of “success” may differ, high school students want to be successful. High school students will frequently surprise you. Most often that surprise is a joyous
occasion. If you genuinely regard learning as a joint activity between you and the students, the experience will be memorable.
