Mission: The minnesota internship center partners with communities and learners to achieve academic, career, and life success.
Programs: The minnesota internship center is a new type of school with unique community and business roots--one that offers exciting learning through the internship process. We are a school which helps older teens with multiple challenges--including homeless, disabled, and students requiring special accomodations at learning and in their careers. The school combines excellent classroom-based instruction with internships that help meet some of the new minnesota academic standards. While internships are not required (many students prefer full days in the classroom, or paid employment rather than an internship), they do offer potential in career and academic growth. Special education services are provided wherever needed, in all of our programs. The school is an approved work experience school by the minnesota department of education and some students combine work with classroom activity for some credit. Academic courses in mnic meet state approved graduation standards. Since minnesota internship center is a secondary program, student graduation numbers have an effect on enrollment numbers each year. Minnesota internship center has recorded over 1,400 graduates since opening in 2003. During the year ended june 30, 2017 the school had average daily membership of approximately 500 students.
