Youth Internship Program gives students hands-on experience
The University of Chicago is set to accept students into its Youth Internship Program. Students who are interested in health sciences, computer sciences or IT services are encouraged to apply. The University of Chicago launched the Youth Internship Program in 2021 to provide paid employment opportunities for Chicago Public high school students who live on the South Side of Chicago. The mission of the program is for students to gain a stronger peer network, prepare and expose them to college and career options. Students have access to guest speakers at the University, as well as to professional development activities. The hope is that access will enable them to be more successful in the internship experience.
