About Our Internship Program

The high school internship (PaICE) is an on-the-job learning experience ranging from 60-120 hours in length. This program helps students with determining potential future career opportunities and understanding what skills will be needed to pursue such careers. From a business perspective, it also helps in scouting potential talent and staffing pipeline relationships. Students are often given project(s), exploration activities, and soft skill goals related to the business environment.

Internship students are given a stipend through the PaICE grant for their hours; however, businesses are encouraged to donate to the program at the high school in which the student is enrolled. If the student completes their internship requirements, they can qualify for the PaICE grant stipend and receive high school credits. Business may also opt to pay interns for their work and will usually do so in the cases where the student is qualified to do entry level work at the business (outside of just the shadow/learn opportunity).
