Novitas Academy offers an internship program where students volunteer to help local businesses or apply locally for a job. This guided process helps students build their resumes, develop a strong work ethic, take direction from an employer, discover a new interest or help them become more focused on their goals by deciding what they do not want to do. This program helps clarify their 10-year-plan and sometimes opens a student’s eyes to the need for further education and encourages them to become more motivated to work hard in school. Although students can get work experience on campus, the internship program is a network of opportunities with local businesses and organizations. Students have the opportunity to internship locally with:
Auto Repair Shop
Plumber
Electrician
HVAC
Construction
Retail and Food Service
