Credit Counts for High School Grade Point Average
A High Skilled, High Wage, and In-Demand Career.

The Jah Kente International Inc.’s Advanced Internship or Career Readiness Internship in Business Management is ideal for 11th- and 12th-grade students who have decided or expressed interest in pursuing a post-secondary education in business and financial management or entering the job market immediately after high school in entry-level positions in business and accounting-related functions.
The internship is a work-based learning experience in real-world professional settings with the following features:
1)       Program Specialization and Internship: The program provides students with opportunities to gain hands-on experience in business and financial management, and in specific fields or roles. It includes mentorship, training, and exposure to the work environment through real tasks (not simulations), to help interns develop skills and networks that can enhance their career prospects.

2)      Level 4 Course: The program offers rigorous instruction and practical knowledge by world standards. Interns integrate the concepts and theories they have learned, including those from their regular school and practical application, to acquire career-related skills specific to business management, as well as soft skills. These experiences strengthen the student’s educational experience through practical, real-world applications aligned with the student’s personal and professional interests.

3)      Capstone Experience: For 12 graders, it is a capstone experience, demonstrated through a culminating project that allows interns to showcase the knowledge and skills they have acquired throughout their studies in a practical context. This experience often takes the form of a project or portfolio presentation and is designed to showcase a student's ability to apply their education in real-world settings.

Students who are placed through the Office of the State Superintendent for Education, Center for Technical Education (OSSE CTE), receive official credits that count toward their Grade Point Average. This means the internship experience is part of the requirement for their Business and Finance course.

Business Management as a Humanities Discipline: Business management is considered a humanities discipline because it emphasizes the human aspects of business, focusing on ethical practices, leadership, and the importance of human relationships. Business management incorporates human-centric approaches that foster understanding of human nature and societal justice.[1] The discipline of "business as a humanity" highlights the economic, political, and social significance of human conduct in organizational behavior.[2]

Humanities enrich management education by broadening perspectives and encouraging critical and creative thinking.   In practice, business management transcends mere technical skills to encompass the broader human dimensions that shape organizational success and societal impact.
