The Internship Placement Process

Education

Education is about more than just teachers, grades, reading, writing, and arithmetic. The education industry is broad and includes public and private primary schools, secondary schools, and institutions of higher education, as well as a host of other government, non-profit, and private organizations. The education industry is a multibillion dollar industry with thousands of consulting firms, curriculum development companies, textbook publishers, and other corporations of all sizes and specializations that support efforts in the classroom. There are many other opportunities in the industry outside of schools and other traditional institutions of learning. Child development programs and the massive test preparation industry are just two examples. Furthermore, there are many opportunities in education policy, education research, or experiential education models.

A CE education intern may find themselves working with summer programs, educating students on one of many subjects. An education intern may also find themselves overseeing summer schools, special education, or working in a museum or classroom.

Past CE education interns have:

  • Worked in a school, museum, community organization, childcare facility or hospital alongside of industry professionals.
  • Learned about curriculum design and helped develop age-appropriate lesson plans
  • Taught lessons or lead activities for children in groups, or one-on-one.
  • Worked with children and adults with special needs.
  • And much, much more...

“The experience taught me that there is more to education than just classroom teachers and showed me many sides of the education industry”
- Lisa
My interests are two-fold, both in art and in education. CE placed my in a teaching position within The Children’s Museum. It was awesome how I could learn and teach kids art all at once!
