The Guam Department of Education (GDOE) invites incoming seniors to apply for its High School Seniors Internship Program (HSSIP). The GDOE would like to offer students the opportunity to gain experience in the workplace. To better serve this need, the Superintendent, proudly announces 20 openings for the Cycle Four of the GDOE HSSIP. Incoming seniors enrolled in a GDOE high school are eligible to apply for the chance to gain valuable work experience, engage with the department’s leadership, and earn a generous stipend. 

The program offers basic work experiences in contemporary office settings to support professional development beyond the traditional classroom. It focuses on project-based assignments and at the same time, allows interns the opportunity to learn professional communication and collaboration techniques, participate in leadership development, sharpen technological skills, enhance interpersonal skills, gain basic understanding of the GDOE district offices and more. Additionally, interns will execute an intern-led presentation at the end of the summer to showcase their experience in the program. Those who take part in the program will be able to use the experience to enhance professional resumes, add to their college applications, and be called upon to participate in other GDOE activities throughout the year. 

The GDOE internship program consists of three separate sessions. Those selected will be working at the Tiyan location for GDOE’s headquarters and district-level offices for all three sessions. Duty hours are between 8:00 am and 2:00 p.m. The three sessions are scheduled for:
