For high school students looking to supplement their academic education with real-life business skills or who may need help figuring out their next steps, Pentacle’s High School Internship Program provides hands-on work experience, career development, and mentorship during the 8-week program session.
Applications are accepted on a rolling basis. It's recommended that you sign up for Pentacle's newsletter, blog, and social media to stay updated when sessions dates are announced.
ABOUT THE INTERNSHIP PROGRAM
Once selected through a recruitment and application process, interns are paired with a participating small business (for-profit or nonprofit entities) that share their interests and goals. Interns have the opportunity to build their hard skill sets, learn from their peers, and meet industry leaders at weekly professional development seminars led by Pentacle staff members and visiting professionals. The curriculum will be relevant for students whose plans include college as well as those who are not sure college is the right choice for them.
We will be encouraging participants to abide by the current NY State guidelines regarding in-person activities. If a pair may want to connect in-person they will have to agree to guidelines set forth by the Pentacle staff. The weekly seminars will be held over Zoom. We are also open to interns and artistic entities outside of NYC.
INTERN RESPONSIBILITIES
- 5 hours/week with a for-profit or nonprofit small business
- 2.5 hours/week virtual professional development training workshops
INTERN COMPENSATION
Participating interns receive a stipend of $600.
Intern applications are accepted on a rolling basis and dates for upcoming session are announced through Pentacle's newsletter, blog, and social media.
