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 Education and Non-Profit Internships for High School Studentspublishers, 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 Discovery 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.

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!
