  • The Power of Communication in Internship Experiences Communication is a skill that many teens find challenging, yet it’s one of the most critical for success in any career. That’s why it’s a core focus of our Career Internship Program at Naperville District 203. Through their internships, students collaborate with supervisors to tackle real-world projects. Afterward, we take time to unpack cross-sector competencies, like communication, through meaningful reflection. Both students and supervisors share insights about strengths, challenges, and areas for growth. It’s no surprise that employers frequently cite communication as a top challenge for new hires. That’s why we prioritize giving our students authentic opportunities to develop and practice this skill. By the end of their internships, our students not only grow in their ability to communicate effectively—they gain confidence, build connections, and experience personal transformation. 💬 Communication isn’t just a skill—it’s a game-changer. Let us build a micro-internship experience to help enhance your organization -> Boost Productivity -> Strengthen Community Ties -> Access Top of Funnel Talent Connect with our internship coordinators Brett Thompson or Peter Hostrawser to learn more. #WorkBasedLearning #CareerReadiness #Internships #CommunicationSkills #FutureLeaders

He immediately started digging into user-experience challenges and reported bug discoveries to the Linear project board. Thanks to his efforts, we’ve enhanced our #HelpCenter, improved #DataInsights, and refined our #WelcomeTutorials to give first-time academic medicine users a smoother, more insightful start. Well done Connor! 👏🏽👏🏽 Special thank you to Brett Thompson, Peter Hostrawser, and the entire Naperville District 203 Career Internship Program team at Naperville Community Unit School District 203 on this great community partnership! #CTE #HighSchool #DZInternship

  • 💻 When was the last time you had to think on your feet to solve a problem in real time? One of our IT micro-interns recently reflected on their experience: "I learned things don’t always go as they are supposed to, and you have to think on your feet to find viable alternatives that work." This is problem-solving in action, and it’s exactly what our students are mastering through hands-on internships. In the fast-paced world of IT, adaptability is key, and this student rose to the challenge, bringing fresh ideas and solutions to their team. 🛠️ Our Career Internship Program is building more than technical skills—it’s developing critical thinking, resilience, and the ability to thrive under pressure. 🔑 Businesses, this is your chance to invest in the next generation of problem-solvers while gaining valuable support on your projects. These internships are short-term, impactful, and a great way to give back. Let’s collaborate. Who’s ready to mentor the future of tech?
