We are delighted to share the wonderful experience our high school students had during their internship at Odoo Company. Our internship program aimed to provide students with valuable insights into the professional world and expose them to various aspects of a dynamic company like Odoo. The students had an enriching and enjoyable time throughout their internship journey.

The internship began with a comprehensive introduction to Odoo, where the students gained a deeper understanding of the company's mission, values, and the innovative solutions it offers to businesses worldwide. This introductory session allowed the students to familiarize themselves with the company's culture and set the stage for their immersive experience.

To provide a holistic view of the company's operations, the students had the opportunity to hear from professionals across different departments. They were able to interact with employees from various teams, such as sales, marketing, development, and customer support. This exposure allowed the students to gain insights into the diverse roles and responsibilities within a tech company like Odoo.

Following the informative sessions, the students were assigned real tasks to work on, tailored to their interests and abilities. Under the guidance of experienced mentors, they were able to apply their knowledge and skills to practical projects. This hands-on experience provided them with a taste of the professional world and allowed them to develop their problem-solving, teamwork, and communication skills.

While the internship focused on professional development, we also recognized the importance of fostering a positive and enjoyable environment. The students had dedicated time for fun and gaming activities, which not only provided a well-deserved break but also encouraged team bonding and camaraderie among the interns.

5 Careers That Didn’t Exist 10 Years Ago

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
Consider this sampling of 5 careers that did not exist just a decade ago to get a sense of what kinds of professional roles might be possible when our secondary students hit the workforce:

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
How old do I need to be?

As per Article 5 of the new UAE Labour Law, an individual has to be at least 15 years old to be employed in the country.

Do I need a work permit?

Regardless of whether you are working for a few days, weeks or months, every individual who is a part of UAE's workforce needs a work permit issued by the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MoHRE).

Internships for ages between 15 to 18, the company would be required to apply for a 'juvenile work permit', according to Trupti Rajesh Nadgauda, a recruitment manager at Sharjah-based development company Arada.

"This permit is applied by the employer. The company will apply through a Tas'heel centre and once approved, they can print the permit through the MOHRE website. The permit consists of the employment date and [details of the] job they are being hired for. Also, insurance needs to be provided for juveniles like other employees."

Tas'heel is an online government system for all labour-related processes, allowing companies and typing centers to make online transactions and payments to MOHRE.

According to Nadgauda, the total cost for application and approval of a work permit is Dh600. The permit is valid for one year.

This permit is applied by the employer. The company will apply through a Tas'heel centre and once approved, they can print the permit through the MOHRE website

- Trupti Rajesh Nadgauda, Recruitment Manager at Sharjah-based development company Arada

Which documents do I need?

These are the documents that you need to provide when applying for an internship:

1. Written consent or a No Objection Certificate (NOC) or letter from the parent or guardian

2. Valid passport copy,

3. UAE residence visa copy of the parent or guardian and the student

4. Colour photo of the student in white background

5. The internship application form.

6. A valid medical fitness certificate. "The medical certificate is mandatory, and can be availed from an authorised medical centre like Preventive Medical Centres across UAE," Nadgauda said.

What are the work hours for juveniles?

Nadgauda clarified that interns under the age of 18 can work for a maximum of six hours with one hour break, as per Article 5 of the UAE labour law.

The Article also highlights that juveniles should not work for more than four consecutive hours. Moreover, the law also stipulates that a juvenile should not be asked to work overtime and is not allowed to be kept at the workplace after work hours or during rest days or official holidays.

Tips for building your CV

1. Call the organisation:

Instead of sending your CV in a mass email to all the organisations you want to work with, give the organisation a call first to get better results.

"Call the organisation's telephone number and ask to speak to the hiring manager directly," Jake Postles, a recruitment consultant at Ignite, a Dubai-based recruitment agency said. While you may not always get the desired result all the time, the initiative you show can pay off at times.

2. Use professional networking sites to your advantage:

Postles also recommended getting to work early on your professional profile on LinkedIn or other networks.

"I would recommend that any student looking for an internship create a strong LinkedIn profile. They can then use it to find hiring managers within the organisation. Students can go on the organisation's LinkedIn page, go to 'People', and then search 'Talent acquisition managers' or 'HR manager'. Students can then connect with these individuals on LinkedIn and directly message them regarding the position," Postles said.

3. Take online courses

"Depending on the kind of internship, [students] can complete online courses tailored to the work. For example, if they were applying for a marketing internship, they could complete a digital marketing or a social media course, and this will make them stand out from the crowd," Postles said.

- Jake Postles, Recruitment Consultant at Ignite, a Dubai-based recruitment agency

4. List your volunteer or extra-curricular work

According to Postles, companies appreciate applicants who display a wide variety of skills, so listing your volunteer work or extra curricular activities you may be involved in could also help your CV stand out.

Internships are valuable experiences for high school students. They not only help your resume stand out to admissions committees and future employers, but also demonstrate that you're spending your time outside of school learning about and delving into your passion. Furthermore, they teach you important skills that you'll ultimately need in your chosen field.

Unfortunately, COVID-19 has impacted a number of opportunities and experiences, including internships. Many high school students who planned on interning in a work setting and gaining hands-on experience will no longer be able to do so due to social distancing rules. But that doesn't mean you have to resort to twiddling your thumbs this summer. Here are nine remote high school internships to keep your learning and engaged - all still accepting applications.

10 Online Internships for High Schoolers

Rising high school seniors and new graduates can gain leadership skills and explore independent interests through this paid internship. Working under the guidance of the public health director, you'll work on social media and community projects, as well as conduct research on social trends.

The Geosciences Bridge Program is a 6-week paid internship at the University of Maryland Eastern Shore for students interested in ocean sciences, atmospheric sciences, and geographic information systems.

NASA offers high school internship programs to students year-round. Typically, these internships are in-person at one of NASA's many centers countrywide, but due to COVID-19 NASA is offering these amazing internship opportunities virtually. This high school internship program allows students to work on a variety of different projects, and there is no prior experience required to apply! Most interns are offered a stipend depending on their academic level and internship length.

The U.S. Department of State's Pathways Internship Program provides students with paid opportunities to explore various Federal career paths.

The Vera Institute of Justice, a nonprofit criminal justice organization, is seeking a senior high school intern to assist and support the research team. Although the organization is based in Brooklyn, the internship may be conducted remotely, as per the job listing.

This student-led nonprofit aims to empower students from middle school through college with skills and opportunities to succeed in the career landscape. By signing up, students have access to internships, scholarships, and many other resources that allow them to connect with one another and gain experience in the work world.

Tips for Finding a High School Internship

1. Look Local

Getting an internship doesn't always have to mean working at a big company. As a matter of fact, it will probably be easiest to find an internship at a nearby company due to that local connection.

Another benefit of working for local businesses is the ability to really make an impact. With fewer employees and more direct exposure to the owner/CEO, local internship opportunities can allow you to learn so much and contribute to the direction of the company.

A lot of times, there aren't even listings for internships at small businesses online. As a high student, oftentimes your best bet can be directly emailing the business you would like to intern at, or messaging the small business owner on LinkedIn.

2. Adapt Your Search

With COVID-19 still impacting businesses across our country, looking for an internship may require adapting your preferences to opportunities that better align with working remotely. For example, it is a lot easier to pursue opportunities such as journalism, software engineering, and marketing in a remote environment as compared to mechanical engineering and healthcare.

While it may be difficult to find opportunities in a field you're interested in, it's important to not give up hope and try to be resourceful when finding opportunities. Ask your teachers, counselor, and family members whether they know someone in your field of interest. Dig through LinkedIn profiles and try cold messaging business owners.

3. Work on Your Interview Skills

As a high school student, interviews can definitely be intimidating. However, the more you practice on your interview skills, the more prepared and confident you will feel when the opportunity arises. One really great way to practice is by doing mock interviews with people you know.

Get more tips on finding and applying to high school internships .

How Do Internships Impact Your College Chances?

Extracurriculars are extremely important in the college admissions process, especially to selective colleges. In fact, extracurriculars are almost as important as academics at these schools. This is because most applicants will be academically-qualified, so it's the more qualitative factors like extracurriculars and essays that set each candidate apart.

Internships can generally boost your application, but it depends on factors like your responsibilities, the duration of the internship, and the selectivity of the role.

To learn the strength of your extracurriculars, check out our free admissions chances calculator . It will not only let you know the strength of each activity, but also your overall profile and your chances at hundreds of schools in the US.

Tips on preparing for and acing a job interview!

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Interviews have a set of rules, and it's important to follow them. Dress appropriately, arrive in plenty of time, bring copies of your resume and job references, be respectful to everyone you meet at the organization. To go above and beyond the basic rules, these three key strategies will make you a much stronger candidate.

Prepare and practice meaningful answers to interview questions

Use a list of common interview questions to prepare your answers in advance. Be ready to answer: "tell me about yourself," "what are your strengths and weaknesses," and more.

It's also essential to identify skills you have gained from your experiences, and relate those to the job. Does the job require meeting deadlines? Then think about times you've had to meet deadlines in projects for school, volunteer work or family life. Would you need to interact with customers? When have you dealt with customers, helped others, or worked with the public?

Interviewers want details, so prepare the whole story, including what you liked, how you handled problems you ran into, how you worked with a team, and what you learned. Mock job interviews let you practice before a real interview; they are offered at college career centers, non-profit employment organizations, job clubs, and American Job Centers.

What does the employer want?

Do your homework on the employer before the interview. Read the company website, their annual report and look for news articles mentioning the company in the past year. Are trends in their industry affecting business? What are their priorities? What do they need in a candidate for the job you want? Use this information to prepare your own questions in advance.

A recent employer survey shows that many entry-level workers interviewed cannot describe what they bring to the job, or talk about when they have used a particular skill. Make it easy for the employer to see how your capabilities make you right for the job.

Be ready to demonstrate your abilities

Some interviews include a skill demonstration, such as writing or editing a piece, solving a typical problem, or building a model. In some professions, interviewers expect you to show a portfolio of your work - plans or projects you've produced, photos, writing samples, and more.

Visit prepare for your interviews for more detailed advice, and learn about different types of interviews with tips to perform at your best.

Virginia's 17 Career Clusters

To view individual Web pages for each of the 17 career clusters, use the menu to the right .

Career Clusters help students investigate careers and design their courses of study to advance their career goals. For this reason, Virginia has adopted the nationally accepted structure of career clusters, career pathways and sample career specialties or occupations, as well as created a 17th Energy Cluster.

A Career Cluster is a grouping of occupations and broad industries based on commonalities. Within each career cluster, there are multiple career pathways that represent a common set of skills and knowledge, both academic and technical, necessary to pursue a full range of career opportunities within that pathway - ranging from entry level to management, including technical and professional career specialties. Based on the skills sets taught, all CTE courses are aligned with one or more career clusters and career pathways.

Overview

Career Clusters Academic and Career Plans of Study; Virginia's Best Practices (PPT)
This PowerPoint presentation describes the integration of career clusters into the career exploration and preparation process in Virginia (updated December 2012). NOTE: this is a large file that will take time to download.

Developing Academic and Career Plans of Study

The sample Plans of Study listing is a resource to assist CTE administrators and school counselors in developing student academic and career plans of study for each pathway within a career cluster. The sample plans of study template meets all the state and federal requirements.

Back in 2021, Google launched a series of online courses designed to help students earn a professional certificate in six months and also land an entry-level job. In its original offering, Google developed certificate programs in five professional areas: User Experience (UX) Design, Data Analytics, Project Management, IT Support and IT Automation. Now, the tech company has added two new programs to its lineup, each offered through Coursera's online education platform.

First, the Google Advanced Data Analytics Professional Certificate builds on the original Data Analytics Certificate and "delves into machine learning, predictive modeling, and experimental design to collect and analyze large amounts of data." Featuring seven courses in total, the program takes roughly six months to complete and aims to teach students how to 1) build regression and machine learning models to analyze and interpret data, 2) create data visualizations and apply statistical methods to investigate data, and 3) communicate insights from data analysis to stakeholders. Essentially, it teaches many tools of the trade needed to become a senior data analyst or junior data scientist.

With the Google Business Intelligence Professional Certificate, students can participate in a shorter program that focuses on transforming data into actionable insights for organizations. Consisting of three courses (and lasting about two months), the program helps students learn skills like data modeling, data visualization, and dashboarding-skills that have wide applicability in our data-driven age.

Students can actually take individual courses in these professional certificate programs for free. However, if you would like to receive the certificates, Coursera charges $49 per month (after an initial 7-day free trial period). That means that the Advanced Data Analytics Professional Certificate, if completed in 6 months, will cost less than $300. And the Business Intelligence Professional Certificate would run about $100. Once students complete a certificate, they can add the credential to their LinkedIn profile, resume, or CV. Likewise, they can connect with 150+ U.S. hiring organizations in Google's Employer Consortium. If you would like to learn more about Google Career Certificates, you can read this handy page on University of Texas' website.

Update: Google has also added a new certificate program focused on Cybersecurity. Find out more about the program here.
You can sign up for the programs by clicking on the links in bold above. Each program has a 7-day free trial.
Note: Open Culture has a partnership with Coursera. If readers enroll in certain Coursera courses and programs, it helps support Open Culture.

Welcome to Staircase12, an online hub of resources and information for students thinking about applying to top universities. You'll find plenty of ideas here for stretching yourself beyond the school syllabus.

If you want to learn a bit more about why exploring your subject beyond school is important, and see some top tips for going about it, take a look at our Explore Your Subject page.

Reading Bank

You may have been told you need to "read around the subject", but might not be sure where to start (or just think reading is really boring). If that's the case then our Reading Bank is for you. It's full of reviews by Univ students and some tutors too of books that they'd recommend to students considering applying to study their subject at uni.

Explore our book reviews for Humanities, Mathematical, Physical and Life Sciences, Medical Sciences and Social Sciences or take a look at the full range of reviews on our Reading Bank.

Here are four of this month's favourites:

Resources Hub

Exploring your subject isn't just about reading. There are resources all over the internet to help you engage with your subject interest and stretch yourself beyond the school syllabus. Check out our Resource Hub of links for ideas of lectures, podcasts, online courses, articles, blogs and much more. Or explore our specific resources for Humanities, Mathematical, Physical and Life Sciences, Medical Sciences or Social Sciences.

If you're stuck for where to start, here are some of our favourites from this month (each resource opens in a new window):

Staircase12 Book Box

Univ's Staircase12 Book Box project is designed to improve students' access to physical resources to help them explore their subject interests further. Find out more about it on our Book Box page.

Further Information

Do you have further questions about applying to Oxford or about exploring your subject beyond school? Do you have a suggestion for a resource that it would be useful for us to share on Staircase12? Then please get in touch - E: access@univ.ox.ac.uk.

Students: why not also explore our Courses at Univ pages or meet the tutors on our Academics A-Z pages. You may also want to take a look at Univ's Study Day programme for Year 12 students; yet another way you can explore your subject beyond school.

Teachers: check out the events and resources we have for you here.

This is an excellent resource shared by our Counselor, Buket Ayaz from Uptown International School in Dubai. It delves into the difference between Extracurricular and Supercurricular Activities, and provides a list of links for students to help them discover online courses, MOOCs and more! It was very popular in our Webinar and hence we have decided to share it with everyone. You can listen to the excellent UniPod (special mention to Josie Campbell) on the same topic here.

ECA's and SCA's in the spotlight:

The main difference is that SCA's offer and prepares students for their chosen careers whereas ECA's are demonstration of enthusiasm towards the course/major activities outside of the curriculum adding to the enrichment and skills development of the student not directly related to the career/major/course.

Supercurricular Activities:

Demonstrates enthusiasm and curiosity for your subject

The capacity to be an autonomous learner

Active thinking and reflection on your chosen course

Consolidate revision

Enhance your resume/CV

Help you prepare for interviews and pre-university assessments

Enrich your personal statement

Extracurricular Activities:

Helps students express themselves outside of the classroom

Improves high skills set such as leadership and interpersonal skills

Helps to maintain a healthy lifestyle

Explore passions further

Good examples for SCA's:

Internships, job shadowing opportunities, career taster days, society memberships in school, debate clubs, taster and masterclasses, online university-level courses (MOOC's), pre-college programs, TED videos, further reading, follow specialist subject blogs, create your own blog, online research, subject related competitions, magazine subscriptions, MUN.

**Why would want to choose to do an SCA: Especially if applying to courses in the UK in which you need to demonstrate subject focus. Additionally, universities that require a motivational letter or personal statement with a focus on demonstrated course passion would highly benefit from SCAs.

Good Examples for ECA's:

High School Prefects, voluntary work, charity fundraising, trips, sports clubs, instrument playing, student council/government, drama performances, community service, and athletics.

**Why would one want to do an ECA: Especially applying to universities with a holistic admissions approach that considers students' unique experiences and academic success as a whole.
Some resources for online learning and development are:
-Google Scholar: https://scholar.google.com

-Online courses:

-Further Reading Options:

-Online research with US professors: https://pioneeracademics.com

-Online debate clubs such as MUN Online:

-Amazing Resource for Super-curricular Activities from Cambridge:

Myth Busters about applications!

1. The more the ECA's the better! FALSE. This comes from the notion that colleges are looking for well-rounded students, but not anymore, they prefer quality over quantity and they want to see students following their passions.

2. International students can never get full rides! FALSE. Truly wrong, if planned out well in advance, students can get full rides no matter the nationality.

3. Admissions officers may check social media accounts to know the student better -TRUE. This will only be done on a case-to-case basis, however, they don't really have the time to do this as part of the process.

4. Early applications are always an advantage FALSE. If students would benefit from another year of high school work to show to colleges and improve their standardized test scores, they should not apply early!

5. The higher the ranking the better the college! FALSE. Rankings are usually based on limited factors and can't capture the diversity of a university, we need to teach our students to focus on finding the FIT.

6. Liberal arts colleges don't have good science-related programs. FALSE. "Liberal arts is the short version for liberal arts and sciences" and it is not necessarily only related to humanities. These colleges actually have great science programs and great opportunities to dive deep into research in smaller classrooms.

7. Valedictorians get into top universities. FALSE. There is no one factor in admissions overriding all others so although this may be a factor it won't be the only factor considered for acceptance.

As the days grow shorter and colder, we head indoors for the fall and winter. While inside, it's the perfect time to discover something new to love. Get expert instruction on how to do just that when enrolling in a class on My Modern Met Academy. Our e-learning platform features a variety of courses including, drawing, painting, crafting, and photography. Each online class is broken down into bite-sized lessons that you can watch from anywhere and as many times as you like.

When trying to decide on an Academy class, first consider what you're interested in. Have you wanted to try a cozy craft like embroidery? If so, enroll in Intermediate Embroidery: Getting Creative with Printed Fabrics. Although it says "intermediate" in the title, this class is suitable for a motivated beginner because instructor Floor Giebels will demonstrate all of the stitches you'll need to know for her project.

"I had thought about taking a gap year for a long time, but it wasn't until I saw all the different options on TeenLife that I was finally sure. Searching through all the listings, I was able to find dozens of programs that matched my interests and budget, and it made my decision so much easier."

- Jake, 17 Year Old

"After the pandemic, we knew that we wanted our son to do something special with his summer, but we weren't sure what schools or camps would be right for him. TeenLife let us search by location and by our son's hobbies, and we were able to find the perfect summer program because of that!"

- Nikki, Parent of 16 Year Old

"It's been really great for my students to see gap year and out-of-school opportunities listed right next to the various colleges and universities on TeenLife. Knowing that there's all sorts of options and not one 'right' path has been very helpful to a number of teens as they decide what to do after high school."

- Anna, College Counselor

Our mission is to make it simple for teens, parents and educators to develop a meaningful personal experience portfolio, no matter the makeup of their individual interests talents and resources
