Richland One high school students who are trying to find paid summer jobs and internships don’t have to look far – they can work in departments within the district.
The R1 Teen Jobs/Internships Program will run from June through August, with the possibility of some positions extending into the 2024-2025 school year. Starting pay is $10 per hour. Departments with positions available include Building Services, Nutrition Services, Advanced Academic Programs and ThriveRichland.
Students can use the program to earn academic credit, get a head start on their field of study in college or gain experience that will prepare them for the workforce. Students are eligible to work up to 25 hours per week. Jobs and internships also will be offered during the first and second semesters next school year.
“The R1 Teen Jobs/Internships will provide first-hand engagement for students in the workplace. These opportunities can be an important career exploration tool and help validate students’ goals. Students will also strengthen employability skills needed for the workplace,” said Dr. Charnice Starks-Ray, work-based learning consultant in Richland One’s Office of Career and Technical Education (CTE).
The positions are only for Richland One students who are at least 16 years old. Students must have their own transportation.
