CTE at MHS

Career Pathways show students a direct connection between doing well in high school and being able to transition smoothly to postsecondary opportunities or getting a good job when they graduate. Students who focus on a Career Pathway acquire the skills necessary for entry into well-paid careers with high potential for rapid financial growth, increased levels of responsibility, and a high degree of personal satisfaction.

Utah Career Pathways align with and are categorized by the national Career Clusters®. Each Career Pathway culminates in an industry recognized credential of value. Go here to reference all CTE Pathways in Utah

Internship & Related Work Experience Opportunities

Juniors and seniors have the opportunity to explore a specific career by enrolling in an Internship or Related Work Experience class. Paid and unpaid experiences are available. By participating, students develop workplace skills, set education and career goals, and gain valuable insight into potential career paths.

Internships

An internship is a structured work experience which involves practical application of previously studied theory. Each Monday/Tuesday intern student attends class with the internship coordinator at Murray High School. The internship program is limited, and seniors are given priority. Any student interested in an internship should apply with the internship coordinator. The internship coordinator’s office is located in the Career Center.

Interested students are invited to come to the career center and speak with Mindy LeGrande for more information. You can also contact Mindy at mlegrande@murrayschools.org.

Related Work Experience

Related Work Experience provides students with a paid, hands-on career development experience. Under the guidance of adult mentors, students learn to work in teams, solve problems, and meet employers’ expectations. This on-the-job training provides opportunities for juniors and seniors that are directly related to the student’s career goal and course of study. In order to receive elective credit, the student must regularly submit their pay stub to verify hours worked. Assignments regarding the work experience are also required.

Juniors and seniors interested in this program should apply in the Career Center. The participating business, the student, and the Related Work Experience Coordinator develop a written training and evaluation plan to guide and measure the progress and success of the student.
