Want an internship?

Tulsa Public Schools works with the local business and non-profit community to design meaningful professional positions for high school seniors. By working alongside workers in a specific industry, students preview their future and gain increased enthusiasm for a career. This valuable experience assists them in acquiring many of the skills and occupational expertise needed in their field of interest. Through this program, interns become more focused on their careers, as well as their postsecondary lives.
