Highline Big Picture, as part of the Big Picture Network, practices Learning Through Internships or LTI as it is known in the school. On Tuesdays and Thursdays students look for interviews with people in their interest field, this is followed up with shadow day with them. Shadow day within the school is a day in which you follow the people you interview around for a day or two. This is to help the student get an internship at the same place of their choice. Once the student has an internship, they can learn real-world experiences in the field they want to be in. The person that helps them in their internship is called a Mentor. They help them both learn in their field but also can give feedback to the LTI project they do during the rest of the school week. Students are not limited to only one internship or only one job field to pursue. The purpose of LTI and the internships is to help the student learn what they want to do in their lives.
