Internship Placement Status: Help Us Cross the Finish Line!

Do you have a contact YOU CAN share with us?

We’re continuing to make great progress placing students with local businesses and organizations for our 4th quarter R.E.A.L. Term Co-Op Internships. This week, we’re especially looking for connections in a few specific fields: funeral services, legal, photography, and recording studios. If you know of any professionals in these areas who might be open to mentoring a student, please send their contact info to Kim Dwyer at dwyerk@gwcommunityschool.com — we’d be so grateful!

We’re in the final stretch and the finish line is in sight — we could use a few helping hands to get all of our students across. Thanks for being part of the team!
