The One City High School Internship Program (OCHSIP) is one of the Mayor’s initiatives and is coordinated through the DC Department of Human Resources (DCHR) and the DC Department of Employment Services (DOES).
The 2012 recruitment period for high school interns is currently underway and eligible students are encouraged to apply for the program. Students who participate in the OCHSIP will automatically transition into the Summer Youth Employment Program (SYEP).
The OCHSIP is for 11th and 12th grade District of Columbia residents. The program is a meaningful, 26-week internship
(February 13, 2012 – August 3, 2012) that will help students:
Learn and develop the skills, attitudes and commitment necessary to succeed in today’s workforce;
Interact with dynamic working professionals in a positive environment; and
Develop a better understanding of public service careers while earning time and grade qualifications with DC Government.
Some students who participate in the OCHSIP may qualify to receive academic credit that will count toward their graduation requirements. Students may also be able to earn community service hours during their participation in the program. Students who wish to receive academic credit or community service hours should consult with their School Counselor. Please note: students will not be permitted to receive payment AND receive academic credit/community service hours.
To apply, students:
Must be in either the 11th or 12th grade;
Must be a DC resident;
Must have at least a 2.5 GPA;
Must complete the online application
by January 27, 2012;
Must submit the school verification form along with a transcript and two letters of recommendation (one academic, one character reference from a community representative);
Must submit a Parental Consent Form; and
Must participate in an interview session.
Candidates will be evaluated on their academic record, application package and interview. For more information about OCHSIP, please visit:
