Role, Responsibilities and Experience
Do something meaningful with your semester or time off.
With this internship, you’ll work at an education hub. The goal of the hub is to help teens and adult students become as independent as possible.
As an education intern, you’ll help teachers develop meaningful classroom curriculum. You will also help create alternative programs that foster independence, literacy, social skills, and career opportunities. Better yet, you’ll be able to support students and teaching staff in mainstream classes, along with alternative educational activities. Some of these activities include swimming, Equine Therapy, Occupational Therapy, and work experience placements.
This education internship will help you develop various skill sets. You’ll be sure to need them in your career as a teacher or social worker.
Here are just a few things you’ll be able to add to your resume:
creative problem-solving
curriculum design
practical experience with alternative therapies
