One City High School Internship Program (OCHSIP)
The One City High School Internship Program (OCHSIP) is a partnership between the DC Department of Employment Services (DOES) and the DC Department of Human Resources (DCHR), designed to provide District high school students with structured internship opportunities and mentoring relationships.
Through OCHSIP, we strive to provide students with the opportunity to:
- Gain meaningful work experience through a paid internship;
- Learn and develop skills, attitudes and commitment necessary to succeed in today’s world of work;
- Interact with dynamic working professionals in a positive work environment; and
- Develop a better understanding of public service careers while earning time and grade qualifications with District Government.
Program Dates
The 2012 OSHSIP will begin on Monday, February 13, 2012 and will end on Friday, August 3, 2012. Youth participants will automatically transition into the Summer Youth Employment Program (SYEP).
