• CTE Internships & Pre-Apprenticeships

  • The Career and Technical Education Department is proud to provide internship & pre-apprenticeship opportunities for KCS CTE students.  Internships & pre-apprenticeships provide valuable experience and training for students.  We have partnered with local companies and organizations in the county to allow KCS students to learn from knowledgeable and skilled professionals. Students have a unique opportunity to earn high school credit while working on the job to prepare them for post-secondary and career aspirations.

    Current and existing internship opportunities are listed below. Students should submit an application of interest through Major Clarity to learn more about each opportunity.  Students should also reach out to Ms. Miranda Farmer, Career Development Coordinator, for more information about CTE internships or locating their own job site to complete an internship.
