Pentacle’s Career Development programs cultivate the next generation of leaders

High School Internship Program – For Companies

Pentacle works with small businesses to recruit and train interns that fit their interests and administrative needs. Pentacle handles the entire intern recruitment and hiring process: conducting interviews, handling all contract logistics, confirming interns’ projects, and outlining goals for the program session. Pentacle guides both interns and companies throughout the program period to ensure a positive and educational experience for all. In addition, interns receive mentorship from outside professionals, to strengthen their skills and provide them with a network of peers and mentors they can access in their work for their company.

This spring Pentacle is working with high school sophomores, juniors and seniors from across the nation to provide them a hands-on work experience. We are looking for Companies to participate in the program who have projects suitable for young students exploring a range of business career paths.

Intern projects may include:

• Research

• Marketing / Social Media

• Fundraising

• Preparation for Virtual Events

• General assistance

• Archival projects

• Outreach & Presentations
