As educators, we’ve seen the gap between education and industry growing larger over the last 40 years.

The ability to apply skills is a measure of how successful a young person will be in the workplace, making micro-internships and work experience essential for students.

It has been a joy working with iXperience over the last six months, and we look forward to the next six years.

What is the value of a micro-internship?

A micro-internship is a glimpse into a potential future career. Most high school students leave school without any real-world experience or knowledge of what their future careers may look like. A micro-internship gives them access to real problems, provided by real businesses, but in a sheltered, tutored class environment.

I have learnt so much this May. I never thought it would be fun as well as informative, I thought it was just another course but I have honestly enjoyed this so much. I met new people and interacted with them it was wonderful.

The fact that the course involved a lot of hands-on work rather than theoretical classroom study made it very enjoyable and allowed creative input at different levels. Being able to connect with new people and share expertise in an area of interest made it very engaging.
