Updates to the Internship Program
As part of the program completer students need 1 credit of an Internship/job/apprenticeship. I would highly encourage students to take advantage of the free summer school internship class (see attached). There are information sessions posted on the flyer. Students would have their job and only be required to meet 1 time a week virtually. This way they are not worried about working and taking classes during the school year, especially if they participate in sports and other school activities. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSd5GGm8sJzXJ2gzsLQQz3czBo7XRxbN_aIJJlOakP4pDlERzA/viewform - link to sign up for summer school.

MCPS Apprenticeship Maryland Program
MCPS is partnering with employers, local businesses and government agencies to develop paid Work Based Learning opportunities for students to “Earn While You Learn!” The Apprenticeship Maryland Program (AMP) is a CTE Program of Study that allows students to work for an employer during the school day and summer time to earn high school credit, be paid and earn industry recognized credentials identified by employers.
AMP encourages students to gain on-the-job experience in real world environments with employers in career fields like medical, information technology, construction, TV production, policy, automotive, environmental and beyond! AMP is available for students in Grades 11 and 12 to access at all 25 high schools.
