High School Senior Internship Placement Form

Streamline High School Internship Programs with Paperform

Managing internship placements for high school seniors requires careful coordination between students, schools, and host companies. This High School Senior Internship Placement Form template gives educators and administrators a professional, comprehensive solution for collecting all the critical information needed to approve, track, and manage student work-based learning experiences.

Why high schools need a dedicated internship placement form

Career and technical education programs, college and career readiness initiatives, and work-based learning opportunities are increasingly important in preparing students for life after graduation. However, coordinating internships involves gathering detailed information from multiple parties—students, parents, host companies, and on-site supervisors—along with verifying insurance coverage, work schedules, and academic credit requirements.

This template brings all those moving parts into one organized, easy-to-complete form that works for guidance counselors, CTE coordinators, and administrative staff managing dozens or even hundreds of placements each semester.

What's included in this template

This form template captures everything your school needs to properly document and approve internship placements:

• Student information with emergency contacts and parent/guardian details
• Company and worksite details including business name, address, industry, and contact information
• Internship specifics covering position title, job description, skills to be developed, and learning objectives
• Work schedule with hours per week, days of the week, start and end dates
• Supervisor information including name, title, email, phone, and qualifications
• Academic credit options allowing students to indicate if they're seeking credit and which course the internship fulfills
• Liability and insurance verification confirming workers' compensation coverage and signed agreements
• Transportation and other logistical details
• Required signatures and consent from students, parents, and school officials

The form uses conditional logic to show or hide relevant questions based on whether the student is pursuing academic credit, making the experience cleaner and more focused for each type of placement.

Perfect for schools embracing career readiness

This template is designed specifically for:

• High school guidance departments coordinating senior internship programs and career exploration opportunities
• Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs managing work-based learning as part of certification pathways
• College and career counselors helping students gain real-world experience before graduation
• School districts standardizing internship placement procedures across multiple campuses
• Alternative education programs offering flexible learning options for students

Whether you're running a formal internship program, managing individual student placements, or coordinating with local business partners, this form gives you the structure and documentation you need.

How Paperform makes internship management easier

Beyond just collecting information, Paperform helps you actually manage the entire internship placement workflow:

Conditional logic ensures students only see questions relevant to their situation—like academic credit requirements or transportation needs—keeping the form focused and reducing confusion.

Instant notifications alert the right staff members when new placements are submitted, so approvals don't get stuck in someone's inbox.

Integration with Google Sheets or Airtable means all your placement data lives in one organized database where you can track statuses, monitor hours, and pull reports for district compliance.

Email confirmations automatically send students and parents a copy of their submitted information, along with next steps and important reminders about workplace expectations.

Professional design that matches your school's branding helps the form feel like an official part of your academic program, building trust with students, parents, and business partners.

For schools that want to take automation even further, Stepper (stepper.io) can turn each internship submission into a multi-step approval workflow—routing forms to department heads, sending reminders about mid-term evaluations, or triggering calendar invites for supervisor check-ins.

And when it's time to finalize placements, Papersign (papersign.com) can transform approved applications into formal internship agreements that students, parents, and employers sign digitally, creating a complete audit trail without printing a single page.

Built for the way schools actually work

School administrators juggle a lot, and the last thing you need is another complicated tool. Paperform's doc-style editor means you can customize this template in minutes—add your district's logo, adjust fields to match your specific insurance requirements, or include additional sections for industry-specific safety training.

SOC 2 Type II compliance and robust security features mean student data stays protected, and role-based permissions let you give access to counselors, teachers, and admin staff without everyone seeing everything.

With native integrations to tools schools already use—Google Workspace, Microsoft Teams, Slack, and more—Paperform fits right into your existing tech stack instead of creating another silo.

Start connecting students with real-world opportunities

Every high school senior deserves the chance to explore careers, build professional skills, and graduate with meaningful work experience. This High School Senior Internship Placement Form helps your school create those opportunities at scale—with less paperwork, better documentation, and smoother coordination between everyone involved.
