This program offers paid, hands-on internships with the opportunity to earn both high school and college dual enrollment credit, providing a significant head start on career and academic pathways.
The Miami Dade College Summer Youth Internship Program (SYIP) is a five-week paid internship program designed for high school students to gain real-world work experience and explore various career paths. Participants are placed in diverse industries, including STEM fields like computer information systems, engineering, and biology, as well as business, hospitality, and public service. The program emphasizes hands-on learning, allowing students to apply academic knowledge in a professional setting, develop essential workplace skills, and make valuable professional connections. Students are assigned both a worksite supervisor and a teacher supervisor who provides academic assignments related to their internship experience. Successful completion of the program earns students high school academic credit, and many are also eligible to receive dual enrollment college credit through Miami Dade College. The SYIP aims to clarify career goals, build confidence, and prepare students for both college and future careers.
Interns work 30 hours each week, five days a week, completing a minimum of 150 hours over the five-week period, with specific daily schedules varying by placement.
The ideal student is a rising 10th-12th grader (ages 15-18) enrolled in a Miami-Dade County Public or Charter School, seeking paid, real-world work experience and an opportunity to explore career paths while earning academic credit.
