School District U-46 is excited to announce their partnership with the Alignment Collaborative for Education and the Northern Kane County Regional Vocational System to offer a variety of competitive internship opportunities for students in the district and are aligned to Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs offered to students.

Our partners at The Alignment Collaborative and Northern Kane County have created this LIST of all internship opportunities that are available during the Summer of 2025.  Once students have reviewed the LIST and determined which positions they would like to apply for, students must complete the APPLICATION and send in their resume as outlined on the APPLICATION in order to be considered for a position.  Please note that students and families will need to use a personal email address or Google account when accessing these documents and applying for positions.  The use of personal emails is due to the school district’s email system firewall blocking outside emails from Alignment, Northern Kane or area employers when communicating about opportunities.
