A dealership internship could count under Automotive Technology, Business Management, or Sales & Marketing pathways.

If the student is enrolled in a CareerTech program (such as Automotive Service, Business, or Sales & Marketing), the internship could count toward CTE course requirements.
Schools often partner with Oklahoma CareerTech Centers to offer industry-aligned internship credits.
3. Elective Credit
Many schools allow internships or job shadowing experiences to count as elective credit, particularly under programs like Career Exploration or Internship-Based Learning.
4. Senior Capstone or Graduation Requirement
Some high schools require students to complete a senior project or work-based experience as part of their graduation requirement.
A dealership internship could fulfill this requirement if it aligns with the student's career goals.
5. Community Service or Leadership Credit
If the internship involves community engagement (e.g., participating in outreach programs, working with customers, or assisting in training workshops), it may count toward leadership or service-learning hours.
