Career Opportunities

 

💼 Work-Based Learning & Internship Opportunities

At Fordham High School for the Arts, we are committed to ensuring that 100% of our scholars graduate with at least one internship experience. These opportunities help students build real-world skills, gain professional confidence, and explore career pathways—particularly in the software,  education, theater, and arts industries.

 

Our Work-Based Learning (WBL) and SYEP Coordinator works one-on-one with students to help them understand workplace expectations, build professional networks, and explore a range of job opportunities—especially those connected to the performing arts.

 

Additionally, our Clinical & Counseling Department supports students in developing strong resumes, cover letters, and interviewing skills to help them prepare for their internship and career journeys.
