Title: Extracurricular Activities, Trainees and Internship Club (EATIC)
Grade: 9-12
Category: Club
 
Description
 
Extracurricular Activity, Trainee and Internship Club (EATIC) is an organization that gives students access to exclusive internship/research opportunities and extracurricular activities cultivated by Harmony Plus! The club advisors will share information and news about extracurricular activities and internships. As members of the club, students will also have the opportunity to connect with other high-achieving students who may become their future project collaborators. Members will also have the option to join bi-weekly workshops and webinars, on applying for and participating in extracurricular activities, internships and research projects. As truly meaningful extracurricular opportunities are hard to come by during the COVID-19 pandemic, EATIC provides students with highly valuable background, social, personal, and professional support.
 
Impact
 
By participating in activities outside of the traditional classroom, students are able to grow personally and professionally.
Students can gain practical, hands-on experience as well as develop essential soft skills, such as leadership, management, and teamwork abilities.
By gaining this kind of experience and developing these skills, these activities and internships enhance students’ college applications and give them a competitive edge for future employment applications.
Therefore, EATIC will help students get into better colleges, determine their future academic and professional paths, and prepare for their future careers.
