$100,000 CHECK FROM JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.

JPMorgan Chase & Co. presented a $100,000 check to Miami-Dade County Public Schools (M-DCPS) Superintendent Alberto M. Carvalho and members of the School Board to expand the school system’s NAF (National Academy Foundation) summer internship program. The investment from JPMorgan Chase will help expand the program to 500 students this year – the District’s largest internship class to date. Interns will have the opportunity to get hands-on experience in top growth industries, earn college credit, build their resume, and get access to mentoring and coaching, including transportation, technology, and healthcare.

The internship is open to students who participate in the NAF career academy programs of Engineering, Information Technology, Finance, Hospitality and Tourism or Health Science.
