Genesys Works is a program which helps seniors in high school discover and learn about the corporate world.  It provides training, and helps with college enrollment and financial aid. So far more than 95% of their graduates move on to college. It’s also a paid internship, where you will work at corporations and learn about the business world. This program is only used in Chicago, Houston, and in the Bay Area. Next year, Falls Church and other Fairfax County Public schools will be introducing the program to our schools.

Applicants should be committed to a summer training program from July 5th to August 26th. Also they should be able to work in the morning or afternoons during their senior year. Genesys Works emphasizes on huge rewards for your hard work. You will be gaining professionals skills and technology skills from experienced workers in the corporate world.
