Val Tech Internship (Period 1)

The Val Tech Internship Program (V-TIP) is the capstone of Valencia High School’s four-year Val Tech program. The purpose of V-TIP is to allow students to gain valuable experience and advanced technological skills as they explore potential career opportunities of interest to them. Each student—working with parents, the Val Tech Coordinator, and the V-TIP committee—will design, schedule, and complete a 150-hour internship compatible with their career interests. This program is intended for highly self-disciplined students who can and will take responsibility for developing, planning, and successfully completing the V-TIP.

 

The Val Tech Internship Program is offered only to Val Tech seniors in good standing. Students must also get approval from the Val Tech teacher in their area of interest (i.e., a Val Tech student interested in an accounting internship would need the approval of the accounting teacher.  See the Val Tech Internship book for specifics. The link is below.). If students don’t have a specific area of interest but are interested in computers in general, they will need the approval of the Val Tech Coordinator. This teacher support will help ensure success in the internship program. Students can complete this project during the summer prior to their senior year or during the senior year. All Val Tech seniors who plan to earn a Val Tech diploma must meet weekly with the Val Tech Coordinator (during lunch of their senior year) to get the information necessary to successfully complete the V-TIP program.

 

Points for this 10-credit class actually start accumulating during the Junior year (30/1000).  The majority of the points will be earned during the summer and/or during the Senior year.  All 10-credits will be recorded on the final report card--in June of the Senior year.
