Early College Credit Capstone Internship Program
What is the ECC Internship?
Tech High student Ethan O. uses a microscope to check a part he is working on for his engineering internship at SMC Ltd., Spring 2022
This internship program pairs students from high school CTE pathways with employers from a targeted industry sector. Students engage directly with a mentor in the workplace to do authentic, hands-on work over the course of a semester. To support that experience, concurrently, they take the WEOC 99 Internship Course at Santa Rosa Junior College and earn college credit for their successful completion of both the course and internship. In the semester prior to the internship, students may also participate in Counseling 6 and Counseling 270, college and career readiness courses that help prepare students for the world beyond high school.
