Courses that correspond with Work Experience:
Paid or Unpaid EmploymentCareer Internship High School credits
are earned with unpaid work experience.
Students do not receive payment to complete other high school courses and CIP is no different. CIP is a unique way to learn in a different environment.
CIP or HSAP?Students who already have
paid employment might be eligible for a High School Apprenticeship Program credit.
An Apprenticeship Credit is different than a Career Internship Credit. A HSAP refers to trades or apprenticeable jobs.
