The NWESD is looking to expand the number of businesses willing to host job site tours and partner with us to provide paid internships to the youth we serve.
What a Job Site Tour Entails
If you are a business looking to promote your industry’s career opportunities we would love to get students into your facility. These job site tours happen during the school year typically from 8:30 am – 1:30 pm. During these job site tours we want students to learn about your careers, education requirements, and if possible provide any hands on demonstrations. Typically we ask these tours to last 1 hour, but can adjust the times as needed.
What our Paid Internships Entail
Students are to complete hours after school, on weekends and during the summer (schedule agreed upon with student). NWESD reimburses the business for 40 -120 hours of wages. Students are pre-screened by teachers and NWESD and the business holds a soft interview and has final approval.
