Begin preparing for National Internship Awareness Month - April!
April is National Internship Awareness Month and it is a great time to explore the benefits of an internship!
Internships offer a way to "try out" different professions to make informed future career decisions. In addition, internships provide employability skill experience and learning opportunities that you often cannot get anywhere else.
Internship Resources
Tips for finding an internship:
- Start looking early - it may take a while to find the right fit. If you have a specific time period you are looking to complete your internship, begin searching 6-12 months beforehand
- Research local businesses and organizations online that relate to your specific interests and skills and send these companies a cover letter (in the form of an email), a copy of your resume, and a link to any relevant work/portfolio
- Typically, smaller local businesses are easier to find internships with than large or national organizations, but keep your options open
- Network within your current social circles (family, friends, religious organizations, extracurriculars, etc.) to make contacts to find an internship site - get creative. You never know who might give you a fantastic opportunity
- Understand that your first internship might be unpaid - and that's OK - your compensation is experience and knowledge
- Become an advocate for yourself and "sell" your skill sets

Last month, we asked our members and advisors to submit the different activities and projects that they completed during CTE Month. We had some amazing entries and want to show off some of our favorites while also putting together some friendly competition.
Our top 6 entries are all live on our Instagram right now for you to check out and decide which ones you think are the best, then you can "vote" by liking their specific Instagram post!
Whichever post has the most likes by the end will be our CTE March Madness winner and will receive an NTHS tablecloth + $50 Gift Card!
Voting will be open until March 31st.

We would like to highlight Dr. Laura Leatherwood, NTHS Board of Directors President. Dr. Leatherwood was recently named the 2022 President of the Year by the State Board of Community Colleges for North Carolina. Dr. Leatherwood serves as the President of Blue Ridge Community College and was selected from 58 community colleges in the North Carolina system to receive this top honor.
“I very much consider this honor a recognition of the hard work and support of many individuals. Without the support and hard work of our County leaders, economic development and workforce partners, our donors, and our faculty and staff here at Blue Ridge, this recognition would not have been possible.” -Dr. Leatherwood
NTHS is exceptionally proud to have such an accomplished leader guiding our organization and helping us recognize excellence in Career and Technical Education.
