Work Local
The executive Internship Program allows 12th grade students who are enrolled in the Academies of Birmingham to compete for paid internships with local businesses. Fifty five students are selected for the program where they gain 120 hours of workforce experience and participate in professional development sessions.
Graduate Local
Graduate Local was established to create connections to the community, provide support, and facilitate opportunities for Ed Alumni up to five years post-high school graduation.
Throughout the year students use their SDLPs as a planning and recording tool. Students are able to not only build a portfolio of their experiences and accomplishments, but of important personal connections they make throughout high school. The College and Career Prep series culminates in an Executive Internship Program that offers students the opportunity to benefit from the fruits of their labor through a 120-hour paid internship with companies across Birmingham.
