High school students seeking jobs or internships need to be very resourceful and prepared!
In order to get a paying job, you must demonstrate that you have the skills necessary to do the job. A job can be part time, full time or project-specific.
Internships are short-term, generally unpaid, on-the-job learning experiences that allow students to broaden or narrow career options before beginning college. A growing number of high schools offer some form of off campus experiential learning option during the school year, usually to seniors. Other students seek these opportunities over the summer: see the Internship Program page, below.

Summer Internship Programs
Several companies offer a service that places high school students in summer internships. These services charge a fee that ranges from $500 to $7000, depending on the location of the internship and if housing is included. In Boston, students can work with The Education Cooperative, Internship Connection or Career Explorations. Career Explorations also offers a residential option in New York City and Internship Bridge operates out of London.
