We provide career support to help students strengthen their skills and gain confidence to secure a paid internship, research opportunity, and other career-related experiences. Internships, in particular, are a win-win benefiting both the students and the companies providing internships.

We help scholars, primarily first-generation college students and Pell Grant recipients, secure opportunities to get real-world experiences in their chosen field and a path to employment post-graduation. Businesses gain a pipeline for entry-level skilled talent, while at the same time giving back to their communities.

Internship opportunities:

• We welcome companies that provide paid internships to reach out to us. Most students are interested in summer internships, and some are also interested in part-time internships during the academic year.
• The position should be STEM-related; the positions may rotate throughout the term.
• Companies can provide opportunities for STEM Advantage Scholars to apply and vet through their normal hiring process, or ask STEM Advantage to recommend qualified candidates to interview.
• The company should follow their prevailing intern performance review process, but at a minimum provide one written performance review per year or term.

If you are interested in providing a paid internship(s), please contact Jasmyn Masters-Culpepper at  jasmyn@stemadvantage.org.
