The Valley Internship Program is a career-focused internship. Students can be placed in a work-based learning experience in a career field that they’re interested in pursuing after high school. This is a one-semester class, scheduled 2 consecutive periods, designed to provide a work-based learning opportunity with local business, government, and non-profit organizations. Students are placed in local business environments to get an authentic working experience. In unique circumstances, working remotely may be an option.

Through this experience, students will be challenged to take ownership of their learning. Students must learn, practice, and refine employability skills like working in dynamic teams, managing work pace, adapting and adjusting quickly, calendaring and scheduling, email/phone communications, etc. In order to maintain the integrity of our school to business relationships, students are expected to follow the expectations of this course. Students must provide their own transportation. This course must be taken for DMACC credit. 

  • Successful completion of the Valley Internship Program awards two (2) Valley High School credits per semester. 
  • This course can be taken for a total of two times, during your junior and/or senior year, for a total of 4 high school credits. 
  • Three (3) credits may be obtained from DMACC (ADM936) after completing 120 working hours, during that semester, through the program, as well as demonstrating competencies provided by DMACC.
