LIFT Internship Program

What is the LIFT internship program?

June 24 – August 2

The LIFT (Leadership, Internship, Friendship, Transition) internship program provides a comprehensive and inclusive learning experience where participants will cultivate essential work skills and prepare for successful employment opportunities.

From group tasks, to specialized topics of conversation, to real-world opportunities for practice, each aspect of the curriculum is meticulously crafted to foster development of practical skills and confidence in the workplace environment.

Each day will start at the JCC for our learning segments. In the afternoon, interns will transition into their internship placements. Participants will engage in a variety of hands-on learning opportunities aimed at honing vocational skills in the fields of food service, childcare, and grounds keeping/custodial services.

NEW THIS YEAR: In addition to the internship experience, each participant will be paired with a job coach who will offer personalized guidance and mentorship throughout the 6 weeks. From resume refinement to interview preparation, our job coaches are committed to equipping participants with the tools and knowledge necessary to excel in their job search.
