Cascade Christian Schools strives to develop discerning leaders who are spiritually, personally, and academically prepared to impact their world. The CCS Internship Program encourages this development by working with the local professional community to design meaningful positions for high school students that will provide them each a preview of their professional future. By working alongside employees in a specific industry, student interns gain enthusiasm for a possible career, while also acquiring the skills and expertise needed to succeed in the workplace. They can then showcase these newly acquired skills on their resumes and LinkedIn profiles.

All juniors and seniors are invited to participate in the CCS Internship Program. Selection is based on quality of the student application, GPA, and confirmation of being on track for graduation. First, students must complete the College & Career Readiness semester-long course that includes a series of professional development activities. Through this course, students each earn a 0.5 occupational education credit. They must also meet a 2.3 cumulative GPA requirement. They are then eligible to participate in a local, semester-long internship where they will earn an additional 0.5 credit.

Video highlights:

  • It's important to think about your future career before entering college. This way, you will be less likely to spend time and money pursuing a degree in a field that may not be the right fit for you.
  • Employers are increasingly prioritizing work experience and skills over degrees. Having experience in your targeted career field can give you an edge over other job candidates.
  • An internship is a priceless opportunity to explore a career path, gain hands-on experience, and learn from industry professionals.

“I volunteered at Good Samaritan Hospital to see if healthcare was the right path for me. I volunteered once a week for a four-hour shift on the seventh floor of the Dally Tower. The roles I performed ranged from supporting patients, helping staff with small tasks, and restocking supplies.”

—Ellie Hobson, intern at Good Samaritan Hospital


"In my internship with Chef Jared Rook, I worked on developing recipes for the cookbook and learning more complex culinary skills. I learned different ways to cut fruits, vegetables, and meats. … I also learned how to create three of the five ‘mother sauces.'"

—Jayden Baker, Culinary Intern
