About Our Program

Every Student Holds the Key to Their Future

At Warren Easton, we believe internships are how students unlock their potential. Our Career & Technical Education (CTE) Department connects classroom learning to real-world careers through structured work-based learning across nine industry pathways.

By combining industry-based credentials, dual enrollment, and internships, students graduate with the technical, academic, and professional skills needed for college, career, or military service.

Through our partnership with GetMyInterns.org, every placement is tracked, every hour counts, and every student builds a verifiable professional record.

🎓 Career Exploration Before Graduation

Nine pathways give students informed direction — explore real careers before choosing college, trades, or military service.

🏅 Industry-Based Credentials

IBC certifications aligned to each internship pathway carry weight on applications for college admission and employment.

🤝 Real Employer Mentorship

Partnerships with 25+ New Orleans businesses including Hilton Hotels and the Audubon Institute deliver authentic career experiences.

🎖️ Dual Enrollment + College Credit

Graduating seniors can earn up to 12 college credit hours through Delgado Community College — head start included.
