“All students should be required to do work internships. I profiled three schools that are doing a dramatically better job of teaching and assessing 21st century skills and all of these schools have requirements for work internships.”

- Tony Wagner, co-director of the Change Leadership Group (CLG) at the Harvard Graduate School of Education.

Are you a guidance counselor, college counselor, career services adviser, internship program coordinator, or other education professional? Contact us to learn how Career Explorations can help your students make the transition from classroom to career. Every summer hundreds of students from all over the world come to one of our eight domestic program locations to participate in one of our customized summer internship programs.

The internship match is an important aspect of our program, but while it is the foundation of what we do, it is also just the beginning.
