2019 High School Internships

Congratulations to the 43 incoming high school seniors selected for the 2019 Summer Internship Program! 
Students selected for this 4-week program were required to submit applications, resumes, two letters of recommendation and complete in-person interviews with participating employers. 
During their employment period, students gain exposure to a career field of interest and begin to develop skills and competencies to be successful in the workplace. 
This opportunity provides employers with recruitment opportunities, reduces task overload of full-time staff, increases company visibility and strengthens the skill set of the future workforce. View this year's recipients here!

2019 Work Ethic Distinction

Rutherford Works is excited to announce 576 students from 10 area high schools have earned their Work Ethic Distinction Certificates. 

The purpose of the Work Ethic Distinction is to address the needs that industry has for employees who present both technical and soft skills. Students who obtain this distinction are proving that they are both college and career ready. 
To receive the Work Ethic Distinction a student must earn a minimum of 20 points out of a possible 40 points on the industry-developed employability standards and a regular high school diploma. Earning a Work Ethic Distinction and meeting job-related requirements will guarantee an interview with participating Rutherford County employers.
