Compulsory for learners of Grades 10-12, the Inventure Academy internship program fosters leadership, inter- and intra-personal skills and a glimpse of real-world work beyond academia. Learners are expected to complete two internships of two weeks each during the course of these two years. Nothing prepares learners for working life and choosing careers better than immersion into an actual workplace. The Wider World team at Inventure helps learners find Internships that meet their interests. We have a dynamic, engaged and diverse parent body and find their support and network very useful in helping place learners. In the past, learners have worked in law firms, marketing departments, with NGOs, Sports Academies, news agencies, research labs and more.
Learners learn many real life skills when they embark upon the process of finding an internship: they learn to follow up leads, make cold calls, draft cover letters and leverage their community network. Most importantly, they begin to find answers to the question, “what would you like to do with the rest of your life?” 
Once completed, learners present their internship experiences to their teachers, parents, peers and mentors reflecting on their learning and how it has shaped their career choices.
What each learner takes home, besides a letter of recommendation, is a unique and irreplaceable experience, a glimpse into a possible career, touching upon leadership and interpersonal skills, all of which give solid direction and focus to their goals. 

The school has also offered customized internship programs to learners in partnership with Do New and Stable Bow.
