Gersh Academy has been named as a TJX Companies National Community Partner. This gives our students the opportunity to intern at the TJ Maxx, Marshal’s and Home Goods stores on Long Island.
Interns work with an Employment Specialist to gain an individualized internship that builds the skills needed to pursue fully integrated and competitive employment upon graduation. They learn real work skills including job specific tasks, technology, employment standards and work culture at a local business with the opportunity to earn a real paycheck during their final two years in High School.
