Abstract
The author examines a federally funded internship program he organized while serving as the director of the High School for Recording Arts Los Angeles program. The school paid students to operate their own record label. Under the American Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act, approved organizations provide paid, for-credit internships to young people who meet the definition of opportunity youth. Through this partnership, students learned real-world skills, gained hands-on experience, and built their resumes. The author experienced a shift in his professional praxis from school leader to creative pedagogue. During the internship, the school experienced increased student attendance and enrolment, suggesting the paid internship resulted in increased opportunities for student learning. The author covers similar opportunities across the US and Canada.

Résumé
L’auteur examine un programme de stages financé par le gouvernement fédéral qu’il a organisé alors qu’il était directeur du High School for Recording Arts de Los Angeles. L’école a payé des étudiants afin qu’ils opèrent leur propre maison de disques. En vertu du American Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act, les organisations approuvées offrent des stages rémunérés et crédités aux jeunes. Grâce à ce partenariat, les étudiants ont acquis des compétences concrètes, acquis une expérience pratique et ont développé leur curriculum vitae. Durant le stage, l’école a connu une augmentation de l’assiduité et des inscriptions des étudiants, ce qui suggère que le stage rémunéré a augmenté les opportunités d’apprentissage. L’auteur aborde des opportunités similaires à travers les États-Unis et le Canada.
