Internships

An internship is a job designed for students that gives you the chance to learn and gain experience in a field you're interested in, like working with animals or computers. You will spend time at the company or organization helping them with tasks, and they teach you important skills. It's a sneak peek into what a real job in that area is like. Plus, it looks great on your resume for future jobs or college!

High School juniors and seniors who are at least 16 years of age with their credits on track can participate in an internship experience. Contact your counselor for more information.

Contact your counselor or your college and career advisor. They will have the most up-to-date information and can get you connected to the right opportunities.

First, you should connect with your internship teacher or the internship coordinator at your school. If you need further assistance, you can contact the district internship coordinator, Patricia Scott (scottpa@tulsaschools.org).

Tulsa Public Schools works with the local business and non-profit community to design meaningful professional positions for high school seniors. By working alongside workers in a specific industry, students preview their future and gain increased enthusiasm for a career. This valuable experience assists them in acquiring many of the skills and occupational expertise needed in their field of interest. Through this program, interns become more focused on their careers, as well as their postsecondary lives.

We are always looking for new intern hosts!

• Are you a business or organization with three (3) or more employees?
• Are you located in the Tulsa area?
• Are you willing to host an unpaid or paid high school intern for 4-8 hours a week?

We invite you to post your internship position with our internship coordinator. Please reach out to Patricia Scott to discuss specifics.
