Corporate Internship Program

Bridging the gap between education and industry, preparing scholars for future success.

The Corporate Internship Program offers the Corporate Scholarship recipients an enriching experience that gives them relevant and necessary training to move forward in pursuing their career.

Successful scholarship recipients are paired with partnering corporations and placed within the organizations for hands-on training, skills development and work experiences. During this professional placement, students network and work closely with professionals in their field of study. Corporations provide an enriching and rewarding experience that includes industry-specific exposure and challenging project assignments to the interns.

The internship is a 6-week recruiting tool that creates an ongoing pipeline of future full-time employees. It allows the corporation to be a part of the process of closing the skills gap, applying the latest in techniques and technology and enhancing their social media outreach while fostering leadership skills in current employees.
