Miami-Dade County Public Schools (M-DCPS) and the Foundation for New Education Initiatives are collaborating with Miami-Dade County and The Children’s Trust to operate the 2021 Summer Youth Internship Program (SYIP). This initiative provides 10th-12th grade M-DCPS students with valuable internships.
Last year’s internship program adapted its procedures due to COVID-19. This year’s program will be held in person (following health guidelines) remotely and through a hybrid model. High school students must complete 150 internship hours during the five-week period of July 1 – August 5, 2021, with registered businesses and organizations throughout the county. This initiative will provide youth with meaningful educational knowledge, work experience and training opportunities. Along with receiving stipends, paid for by sponsoring organizations, program participants also will earn high school credit and may earn dual enrollment credit through Miami-Dade College.
Interested businesses and organizations should visit miami.getmyinterns.org to register as an internship provider. CareerSource South Florida, The Children’s Trust, Miami-Dade County and EdFed-The Educational Federal Credit Union, are key sponsoring organizations for this initiative.
