Re: Network internship or work experience for a high school senior?

Graham,

That's rather funny 'cause I got a message about 3 hours prior to yours from a coworker who works with community service projects regarding something similar, wonder if its from the same program. I'm forwarding it to the Micronet community to see if anyone else is interested in this one as well.

Subject: [Micronet] Network internship or work experience for a high school senior?

I was cold called this morning about finding an intern / work experience
position for a high school senior interested in computer networking.

He's looking for 2 x 4 hour sessions per week, late January to June. He
will be taking introductory network classes at community college level
during this time.

Although LHS does do this sort of thing with high schoolers, I don't
have enough scheduled network work to make good use of his time and
provide some training in the process.

If anyone thinks they have an opening (probably a larger operation that
does their own network), I am happy to put you in touch with my contact.
  I cleared this post with them, btw.

Graham
