If you are at least 15 years of age and attending high school - or graduating in summer 2024 - we can help you get job experience! Paid internships will be offered to students in Doña Ana County. Work part-time earning $15/hour, not to exceed 160 hours for the length of the program.
Internships will give students an idea about what it is like to have a career, while developing marketable soft skills that are important to employers such as communication, teamwork and problem solving in the workplace. Students can add the internship experience to their resume and college application. Specific details about job assignments and program information will be shared with students during program orientation.
