Intern Readiness Certificate Program

The National Society of High School Scholars (NSHSS) is proud to offer students access to the Intern Readiness Certificate Program (IRCP), to help prepare students for a successful transition to the professional world.  

The Intern Readiness Certificate Program was created to cultivate the needs and goals of young professionals. According to the NSHSS 2022 Career Interest Survey, 82% of Gen-Z respondents expect to engage in an internship to develop their skills. However, many students struggle to seamlessly transition into their roles in the workforce due to a lack of experience in personal and professional development. IRCP was created to give students a toolkit of vital skills which will allow them to succeed in the workplace.  

Students have the opportunity to engage in a 10-module program created with the needs of both students and employers in mind. The course registration fee of $195 includes two live, virtual panels with industry leaders in addition to a weekly curriculum of interactive and informative lessons and exercises. Each module covers a specific topic that has been deemed by experts to be important for an intern’s success. The topics covered in this program include:  

The IRCP will hold four cohorts in 2023 with a series of 10 e-learning modules plus opportunities for exclusive virtual webinars featuring a variety of guest speakers. All participants who successfully complete all the coursework and program requirements will receive the NSHSS Intern Readiness Certificate.  

Sign-up today and ensure a strong foundation that will set you apart in your transition into any internship or career.  

Cohort Start Dates: 

The IRCP instructor will be Fabian J. De Rozario, CEO of GlobalConnect Consulting & Training LP. More info at: https://www.linkedin.com/in/fabianderozario

REVIEWS

“This course opened my eyes to BIG hitters in the workplace. These skills will help me be successful beyond my work life. I will be able to communicate with anybody and develop meaningful relationships. I feel this course made a positive impact on my future and I have recommended it to many of my peers.”

Luchiano Fernando

The NSHSS Intern Readiness Program was a huge influence on my perspective on life and how to handle the working challenges of life. I feel like I have learned what it takes to be a successful intern through and by each of the ten modules, and I fully recommend to anyone and everyone to take this course if you can! The instructors make a big percentage of the reason why I had such a pleasurable experience because they spoke to us in a manner that was informative, encouraging, and realistic. I had a blast navigating the Intern Readiness Program, and I wish all of those who take it in the future a fun and educational experience.

I really enjoyed the course it taught me great things about how to navigate the workplace and the people inside of these organizations. The course was fun and easy to navigate however the format of the discussion board was hard to navigate. Overall it was a positive experience.

Emma Snider

I really enjoyed attending this program and learned a lot about what to do and what not to do in internships, which I surprisingly didn't know much about. I also enjoyed being able to connect with new people all across the country!

Trista Miller

Incredibly Informational, definitely worth it! Each module focuses on a topic which makes it easier to focus on one subject at a time; and the modules helped me apply those skills both in the assignments and the real world!
This course was very great I enjoyed it very much because their was so much different information given about many different things to help me improve as a person.

Alexa Melendez

The Intern Readiness Certificate Program is a very informative course. I know more about being an intern despite never being one. I know how to act, what I need to do, and everything I need to know to prepare me to be a fantastic intern and an employee. In this course, I could engage in the lessons and leave my own experiences and opinions, not just mindlessly reading the modules. Experts in the workplace give advice and answer your questions, and there is a discussion board where you can talk with other people going through the same course to discuss each module's lessons. I will definitely recommend this course to everyone who wants/is an intern and even a full-time employee. This is a wonderful course, and you can hardly find one well structured and informative as the IRCP.

Abdussalam Raheem

I actually do think differently about internships now that I've taken the IRCP course. It helped me realize that an internship isn't just about you or what you're good at; it's also about how you interact with your coworkers and workplace. Everything you do or say will have an impact on everyone you work with. The ten modules are all very beneficial, and each one focuses on a different area of preparing you for the challenges you may face during an internship.
