RJUHSD CTE Internship Program
At Roseville Joint Union High School District, we prepare every student for college and future careers.Through our Career Technical Education (CTE) Internship Program, students gain real-world work experience. They explore different career paths, build essential workplace skills, and apply what they learn in the classroom to real jobs.
Students who complete two or more consecutive courses in a CTE program qualify to apply for an internship. Please see qualifying courses on our CTE homepage.

Testimonials and Review:
"This internship provided opportunities for me to grow and succeed. Real world training that cannot be found in a school curriculum." - HG. Junior, Granite Bay High School, Intern @ The Growth Factory
"I really learned a lot about engineering and myself as a person in the workplace. I've exercised my strengths and learned my weaknesses and became ready to be a contributor in the 21st century workplace. I've learned many new skills in the internship class which I could then apply to my internship and learn to make those skills a habit for when I officially join the workforce after college." - RC. Senior, Antelope High School, Engineering Electric Intern @ Roseville Energy Park
