Goshen High’s internship programs highlight real-world placements, networking and employment outcomes
Summary
High school internship coordinators and former interns described a 12-year career and vocational internship program that places students with local employers for work experience, networking and resume-building; coordinators said about 370 students have been placed over 12 years.
GOSHEN, N.Y. — The Goshen High School career internship and vocational internship programs, which the district has run for more than a decade, were described at the Sept. 15 board meeting by coordinator Danielle Anguante and former interns who detailed placements and outcomes.
Anguante said she has placed about 370 interns in the last 12 years and that the district operates two related programs: a vocational internship focused on students pursuing trade or two-year options and a career internship for students planning four-year college pathways. She emphasized real-world experience, networking, resume building and interview preparation as program benefits.
Several former interns spoke about their placements. Aiden Myers described a maintenance internship at Take Flight Aviation that helped him gain admission to Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University. Another former student said the internship helped with marketing experience at a soccer company and with resume and cover-letter writing. Senior Kylie Bridal described an internship at the Orange County District Attorney’s Office that solidified her interest in law school. Sydney Frazier said an architecture internship helped refine her career interests.
Anguante noted that some interns are hired by their host sites after their placements, and she cited an example of a student who began an internship in 2020 and worked at the same site through 2025, using earnings to help pay for college.
Board members praised the program, and administrators commended community partnerships that provide student placements. No board vote specifically changed program funding at the Sept. 15 meeting.
