A local cybersecurity company, Jungle Disk, this week launched a four-week paid internship program for 21 high school students or recent graduates from the San Antonio Independent School District. The interns will work 20 hours per week at Highlands High School. They’ll be mentored by professionals and the company’s college interns, acquire experience in marketing and cybersecurity, and earn $9 an hour. The SAISD Foundation will be paying those taking part in the program.
