Accepted students will be sent an email by February 27 about what to do next.

• We'll send the dates of your training when we send your acceptance letter.
• You must complete all training to be eligible for a paid Step Up experience.
• All trainings will be online.
• You must complete the training within your assigned two-week timeframe, but can work at your own pace.
• After completion, eligible students can earn elective high school academic credit.

If you can't make your assigned training dates, contact us before those dates to reschedule if you want to remain an active participant.

• If you are matched with a paid internship, you will need to complete additional preparation steps. 
  • Summer internships run from mid-June to mid-August.
• If you are not matched with a paid internship, or if you prefer an online summer experience, you can participate in our online Career Exploration Program. 
  • This is a 5-week paid online experience.
