Help Senn High School Students With Work-Based Learning!

Invest in the future of our community and connect with students at Senn High School! Senn is looking to connect our motivated students with local professionals for valuable work-based learning and career experiences.

We are compiling a directory of local professionals interested in:

Speaking at career day events
Mentoring students one-on-one
Providing job shadow or internship opportunities (some students may be able to leave school up to two hours early for these experiences)

If you are eager to build partnerships and connect with talented students, please take a moment to share your interest through this quick form: https://forms.gle/FJGXnJjDXaukAqkK6

We look forward to helping students find success within our community. For questions, please reach out to Dr. Fink at wffink@cps.edu
