Learning Through Internships

Last Updated: 2010-07-20 15:06:55

"Having an internship was one of the best things about The Met. I learned a lot about photography and discovered I have a good eye for taking pictures."  former Metster


The Met is founded on the belief that students must be actively engaged in their education. At the core of the curriculum is the Learning Through Internships program, which helps students find opportunities to learn in real-world settings and through meaningful projects. We pair students with adult mentors in the community who share their career interests and passions. Two days a week, students intern at these worksites and take on projects that benefit the organization. Back at school, students work with their advisors to build and reinforce the skills and knowledge needed to complete those projects. Unlike traditional internships which train students for specific jobs, the purpose of a Met internship is to allow students to apply their academic knowledge and meet their learning goals.

  • The Met Sacramento has a database of over 1,200 internship sites.
  • Sacramento City Unified School District (SCUSD) and many other school districts nationally are moving toward Linked Learning. The Met Sacramento and Big Picture Learning schools have been at it for over 15 years!


There are 16 major career clusters, which most students fall into:

  • Agriculture
  • Architecture
  • Arts
  • Business Management
  • Education
  • Government
  • Health Science
  • Hospitality & Tourism
  • Information Technology
  • Law & Public Safety
  • Manufacturing
  • Marketing
  • Science & Technology
  • Transportation

Notable internships Met students have done:

Sacramento News & Review - California State Assembly Speaker, Fabian Nunez - American Red Cross
Sol Collective Art Gallery - ECOS: Environmental Council of Sacramento - Society for the Blind
California Department of Conservation - SCUSD K-8 Schools - Sacramento County Suicide Hotline
