A successful high school student internship will find the right balance between your organization's goals and each intern's goals and availability. Technology can also impact how work gets done. Consider which of these types of internships is best for you:

Virtual Internships

Students don't report to a physical office, but the organization provides all technology and tools the student will use where they complete work.

On-Site Internships

Students report to a physical business location to perform the duties of the internship.

Hybrid Internships

This type of internship is a combination of both on-site and virtual work completed by the intern.

Did You Know?

Virtual internships benefit employers by expanding your candidate pool beyond your physical location and can often help attract students with a wider range of skills.
