1st Summer Internship Starts

Ten volunteer High School students joined RC Roxas’ first summer internship program last May 30, 2008. This activity is envisioned to give the graduating high school students a “peek” into their career paths by experiencing first-hand how it is to be working in the jobs of their choice.

Most of the volunteer students wanted to take up nursing courses, thus they were accommodated by Rotarian Dr. Mariz Gepilano at the City Health Office and by Incoming President Pip Acepcion at the Capiz Emmanuel Hospital. Other Rotarians who brought interns into their respective workplaces were Rotarian Chad del Rosario, Rotarian Rey Fuentes, PP Mark Ortiz, and Rotarian Dr. Stephen Casios.

Rotarian Jerry Lames provided the last minute orientation at the Rotary Center a few minutes before the start of the immersion. He also gave out identification cards for the interns to wear throughout the 10-day Program.

Today, several Rotarians are scheduled to go around their choice workplaces to check on how the interns are. The interns are also expected to be at the Rotary

meeting tonight to give feedback on how the program could still be improved and if there were loopholes along the way.

The Summer Internship Program is expected to end on May 13, 2008 in a simple ceremonies at PP Mark Ortiz’ SandBar in Baybay.

This year’s summer internship program is facilitated by Rtn Leah del Rosario.
