Can the 100 hours of work-based learning required for Innovation Career Pathways take place during the summer?

Yes. Students can and should get credit toward graduation for summer internship experiences, provided they happen in the summer before senior year. Student participation in the 100 hour career immersion Internship or Capstone experience must be documented as a course with a local SIMS course code. Each secondary institution can make their own decisions around offering summer courses, and should then follow DESE procedure and work with district data staff for documenting course-coded summer courses.
