This no-cost program uniquely combines college credit for a college success skills course with a paid virtual project-based internship, offering both academic and professional development.
NOVA's Summer College Prep and Virtual Internship Program is a no-cost, six-week virtual program designed for rising high school juniors and seniors. It combines a virtual college preparation course (SDV 100) with a paid, 50-hour project-based virtual internship. Students will develop academic skills such as navigating college transitions, effective study strategies, time management, and career exploration. The internship component focuses on professional skills like communication, teamwork, problem-solving, and digital collaboration through real-world projects. The program aims to strengthen academic preparedness and understanding of potential STEM career pathways, providing valuable hands-on experience and expanding professional networks for success in college and future careers.
A typical day involves virtual college preparation coursework and participation in a paid virtual project-based internship, with both synchronous and asynchronous expectations.
This program is ideal for rising high school juniors and seniors who are at least 16 years old, meet VCCS readiness standards, and are looking to gain college preparation and professional STEM experience.
