Why experiencing different internships is important for your child

Last year, my daughter had to choose between two options in secondary school: the conventional, academic track and the open schooling track with its internships and work experience. "With internships, teenagers can explore several career choices, obtain real-world experience, and make educated decisions about their future." The internship really helped me because previously, I had had no experience in working in a routine and in setting schedules.” Internships are great ways to check out careers and industries “Want to swim? Don’t read about it, get into the water with a coach,” says Mala Mary Martina, the young CEO of Teen Interns, a paid platform that offers 14 to 19-year-olds a landscape of internships they can do over a selected period of time, along with school. Our teens even created an event at Starbucks called Teenovators, where they showcase their work and companies pick them for various internship opportunities.” “The internship was a journey of self-discovery through experience,” he says.
