Our internship program introduces our students to real-life work experiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Is the OLS Internship?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In their fourth and final year with OLS, students are given the opportunity to put their workplace skills into action by participating in a two-quarter, 250+ hour internship. Internships take place in local businesses throughout the region where students receive work-based evaluations from their internship supervisors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Individualized<\/h3>\n\t\t\n\n

When it comes to a career, one size doesn\u2019t fit all \u2013 that\u2019s why all of our student internships are individualized to each student\u2019s career path, skills and support needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Leading up to the internship students work closely with OLS staff to plan an internship experience closely matching the career path they\u2019ve developed throughout the program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\t\t

Supportive<\/h3>\n\t\t\n\n

Everyone needs support sometimes to be successful in the workplace. OLS staff provide close support to students and partner businesses throughout the internship experience. Whether it takes a modified job description, help working through interpersonal issues or designing accommodations, our internship coaches stay closely involved in the internship experience, giving students the tools they need for a successful internship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\t\t

Post-Graduation Planning<\/h3>\n\t\t\n\n

At the conclusion of the internship experience, OLS staff meet with students, families, and internship supervisors to discuss future career plans. Students are encouraged to use what they learned throughout the previous quarters to advocate for themselves and determine their next step.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

OLS staff use each student\u2019s goals and experience to identify employment and continuing education opportunities as well as available supports as they continue on their journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\t\t
