FCS Internship Program Request

Greeting Parents:

My name is Andree FitzPatrick, and I am the Gifted Internship Program Advisor Lead for Fulton County Schools. Our program has grown, and we are currently seeking internship opportunities for gifted students in the broad career fields of business, communications, engineering, medicine and technology. I believe that partnering with your business or practice would be mutually beneficial, offering your team the opportunity to mentor and guide future talent while contributing to their professional development. Here is what some of our current community partners said about our Spring 2024 interns:

“[Student] demonstrates exceptional skills in the IT area and was able to partially resolve an archiving problem for us. We are highly impressed by his abilities.” bSide Partners

“[Student] is learning to draft deeds and identify flaws in property descriptions. She is preparing health care directives and powers of attorney, and even creating Wills using our document software. We are happy to have interns on site and are comfortable with their abilities to help us and develop their skills.” Law Offices of Miller & Chaet, PC

“[Student] is doing a GREAT job managing our inventory! We have had some major challenges, and she is helping us create systems and processes to make corrections and prevent future problems. We love having interns!” Mobility Plus Alpharetta

Our internship program is designed to provide gifted Juniors and Seniors the opportunity to explore careers five to eight hours per week in semester long internships. Students receive academic credit for this unpaid internship where they work alongside knowledgeable and experienced employees in real-life situations. By hosting our interns, your organization will benefit from:

Fresh Insights: Interns bring a unique perspective and innovative ideas that can rejuvenate your projects and processes.
Talent Pipeline: Hosting interns allows you to identify potential future hires who already understand your culture and operations.
Mentorship Opportunity: Shape the next generation of professionals by sharing your knowledge and expertise.
Increased Productivity: Interns can assist with tasks that free up time for your team to focus on higher-level projects.
Community Impact: Supporting internship programs at local schools enhances your reputation as an organization committed to nurturing talent and giving back.

I hope that you will consider hosting an intern during the Fall semester 2024. I would welcome the opportunity to speak with you further about how this partnership could be structured to work for your organization. Please email or call me at your convenience. Thank you for your time and your support of our program. I look forward to collaborating with you.

Best regards,

Andree FitzPatrick
