When it comes to big decisions – like choosing a career – knowing what you like and don’t like makes things easier. And we think the best way to find out what you like is to try things.
Internships let you “test drive” a career. CAREERS works in partnership with schools and employers to offer internships all around Alberta, in all kinds of different fields, so you can find out what it’s really like to work in a job that interests you. On top of building confidence in your career path, our programs let you gain work experience, earn a wage, earn high school credits and make connections with future employers – all before high school’s even over.
We’ll be here all the way to support you in finding an internship, completing it and building the skills you need to get the career you want.
If you’re not really sure what career is right for you, we can help you explore what’s out there – and try out what interests you most.
If you do know what you’d like to do – or you find out what you’d like to do through an internship – you’ll get ahead by building experience and professional connections before you graduate.
All internships through CAREERS are paid. Unlike any other part-time job, you can also get high school credit for them.
Internship hours can be completed during school hours, after school or over the summer. Whatever works best for you.
