Student Life

Business Partnership Program

Through its Internship Program, Strake Jesuit College Preparatory seeks to partner with area professionals to enhance the education of our students through providing relevant field experience prior to graduation. An internship provides students with a unique experience to step outside the classroom and build their resumes, gain professional knowledge, test drive a potential new career, network with alumni and gain a “real world” perspective on an occupation. In some cases internships have led to jobs or part-time employment. Strake Jesuit offers internships to students in a variety of career fields. Internships will be completed during summer months. Strake Jesuit strongly encourages its students to consider making an internship a part of their college prep experience. A successful internship placement is a win-win-win for the students, Strake Jesuit, and companies alike. Students, families, or area businesses may contact Mr. Carlos Barboza for more information.

Student Experiences

  • Liam Kennelly ’16 interned at Northwestern Mutual

    I learned a great deal about business and financial terms. I had an opportunity to observe and take part in business networking and learned how to conduct myself in a professional manner. Both professionals I shadowed provided a great deal of insight into business. I learned about compounding and simple interest, the importance of diversifying investments, investing, and many other financial topics.

  • Hugo Gonzalez '16 interned at Brand Extract

    My experience with Mr. Bothe was very informative and interesting. Most of my days consisted of accompanying Mr. Bothe and sitting in and observing company meetings. I thoroughly enjoyed the meetings as I was free to ask questions and voice my opinions. Throughout the week I was exposed to all three branches of the company. Mr. Bothe also gave me plenty of advice and insight in regard to my future education and how to go about getting into the marketing field. Overall, this was a very enjoyable experience that has definitely helped me find a career more suited toward me.

  • Michael Nice ’16 interned at Northwestern Mutual

    His internship triggered a significant increase in interest towards the area of finance. As a result of his brief stint at Northwestern Mutual, Michael will be joining Northwestern Mutual, Mr. Burch and his office part time this fall. He will be focusing on marketing and personal needs analysis.

  • Samuel Kretzchmar ’16 interned at Cogan and Partners

    I have become more aware of what it takes to be a lawyer and what I need to do before entering law school.
