Therefore, when scheduling work and other commitments, please try to leave at least one morning free prior to 12:30 p.m., if possible. We also will likely have some placements from ~1:00-3:00 or ~1:30-3:30 p.m.. Our schools end at either 3:00 or 3:30 p.m. There are no placements after this time.
TB test required; must be dated within 6 months of starting internship, October 13, 2019 or later.
