Internship

A Vital Part of CTP’s Vocational Training

After training, every student will be placed on a 4-week internship at a professional workplace. The internship experience has many benefits for students including the opportunity to:

• Apply technical skills in a real business environment
• Gain confidence in technical and interpersonal abilities
• Develop new skills
• Practice utilizing accommodations needed in a work setting
• Give business people sponsoring internships the opportunity to evaluate the intern’s capabilities as an enthusiastic employee
