The Franklin Public Schools Office of Teaching and Learning and Franklin High School recently welcomed community partners together to reflect on the success of the Senior Project internship experience and continue planning for the district’s innovative 100-hour Career Pathways Internship Program.
The meeting brought together representatives from a wide range of industries, including biotechnology (MRN Diagnostics), banking and finance (Dean Bank), nonprofit organizations (YMCA, Franklin Senior Center, One8 Foundation), and manufacturing sectors (Allegra Marketing/Printing). The collaborative conversation focused on strengthening partnerships, expanding opportunities for students, and continuing to connect classroom learning with real-world career experiences.
