Real World Academy:
- Real World Academy is unique in that it also works with students at transitions, all the way from high school until the workforce. Many "college prep" are simply SAT prep courses, and do nothing to continue working with the student to make sure they actually succeed. Real World Academy is MUCH more than that.
- Real World Academy lets any high school student or parent hire an "Agent," a customized counselor and life coach. But simply having an agent does not mean that you will succeed. Students need to take initiative and self-actualize.
- Real World Academy is unique in its industry ties. We will help any of our interested students find an internship.
Topics:
- How to get an internship? Where do I find them? How do I stand out on an application?
- Paid vs. unpaid internships. Are there scenarios where one is better than the other?
- Timing. What years are the best years to get internships in both high school and college? Do internships distract from your schoolwork? How do you balance life as an intern and a student?
- Translating an internship into a job. How do I accomplish this, and is the internship path becoming a more common pathway into the workforce? Is this a way to "guarantee" a job after college?
