Career Development Internship (CDI)

CDI offers students the opportunity to participate in an unpaid internship placement in a career of interest, all while earning high school credits. Internship credits integrate career development theory, knowledge, essential skills, employability skills and attitudes with meaningful learning experiences in an internship setting. The knowledge, skills and attitudes acquired through internships can increase students' competence and confidence and provide more awareness of the expectations of a profession and the employment opportunities that exist in their community, as well as the educational and training requirements for these opportunities.
