Students gain insight into possible career paths by allowing them to see first-hand the day-to-day workings of particular careers and businesses. \u00a0This intimate perspective can help students determine if \u00a0a career option may, or may not, be something they would like to pursue.\u00a0\u00a0These valuable experiences are an amazing way for our students to start setting goals for their future as they begin the process of determining who they are and what they can offer the world!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The second week of October was Internship Week for FOA&#8217;s Middle School Students.
