Internship Program Update

The Internship & Career Program has been busy the past few weeks! 

We connected with a great new partner called Upbeat Academy that teaches students music production through working with local producers and rappers. Victor has been loving his internship and got a chance to attend The BUKU Music Festival and represent Upbeat a few weeks ago.

We have also connected many of our students with programs that are working out of the Youth Empowerment Project's space on OC Haley Blvd.  Students have learned computer coding with Operation Spark, bike repair and retail skills through the Trafigura Work and Learn Center, and Digital Design through New Orleans Design and Development LLC

We are getting ready for the summer where the NET will have a summer internship program that will run from June to July. We are excited what our students will explore this summer through their internships!
