CDH Seeking Community Partners to Expand Student Internship and Job Shadow Opportunities

March 26, 2025

At Cretin-Derham Hall, we believe that real-world experience is one of the most powerful ways to prepare students for life beyond high school. That’s why we’re expanding our internship and job shadow program—and we’re inviting alumni, parents, and community members from all industries and walks of life to partner with us.

If you have a professional opportunity of any kind, we’d love to hear from you. Whether you work in marketing, engineering, research, trades, finance, healthcare, education, nonprofit, law, service, tech, retail, the arts—or something unique—our students are eager to learn.

Opportunities could include:

• A one-day job shadow

• A multi-week internship

• A project-based mentorship

• Even just a conversation or site visit

We will screen student applicants to ensure they’re prepared and committed, and we’ll work with you to design a schedule that fits your availability.

We’ve already seen the impact: CDH recently partnered with Mauer Chevrolet to create a trailblazing student internship in automotive service.

If you’re willing to share your profession, passion, or workplace with a student, you can help shape their future.

To get involved or refer someone, please email Anne Dougherty.

Let’s work together to give every CDH student the chance to explore, connect, and grow.
