About The Next Move

The Next Move Internship Program has supported students in Pierce County with career awareness, exploration, and preparation for over 17 years. Each school year, Next Move engages over 500 students in career awareness and exploration through their Intro to Internship course where students research career pathways, build resumes, write cover letters, and practice professional networking and communication skills.

Upon completing Intro to Internship, students are placed in unpaid, credit-bearing internship experiences in the community. With over 250 different community partners, Next Move gives students first-hand experience in a career field that they hope to pursue in the future. Internship experiences also allow students to build their resumes, connect with career mentors, and ensure that they make informed decisions about their post-high education.
