About MeHello my name is Alexis Corona, I am a junior at High Tech High Chula Vista. My internship is a four-week full time immersion experience, beginning Monday, May 12, 2014 and ending on Friday, June 6, 2014. The hours are set by site, and are typically around a normal work day. I am interested in pursing a career in the medical field and would love to intern at any site that does anything medical. I have taking Med-Ed classes after school and have learned about neuroscience and anatomy of the human body. I am dedicated, reliable and professional.
What is internships?Internships is a four week period where High Tech High juniors go to an internship instead of school. Students get to choose their own internship that revolves around something their interested. Students get to experience what working in the real world is like while still having to complete weekly journals, mentor interviews, teacher site visits etc. During the internships students are required to complete a project for the site. Students gain important skills and gain direction in career choice.

What is the process of getting an internship?Students have to find internships on their own time that fits their area of interest. The process of getting an internship is different for every site. Students must meet the requirements of each internship site. If you're site requires an interview, you must do the interview.
How do students prepare for internship?Students should be prepared for internships by knowing some of the basic information needed. For example, if you're going to be doing an internship about anatomy, at least know the basics. Another way students can be prepared is by being professional and knowing their responsibilities.
