CTI interns meet weekly September to June to work together on various deliverables for our client-based projects. Interns learn soft skills while working in an office environment and work on their social-emotional learning and transition skills. TKU seeks committed candidates who will attend the program weekly as part of a school program or who have graduated high school. *This is an unpaid internship, but students can receive credit through their school.
