The Trusted Pre-Internship Platform: From Startup to Fortune 1000
What are Pre-Internships?
Pre-Internships are short-term experiential learning programs that students complete to earn priority access to internship, co-op, and apprenticeship opportunities.
First- and Second-Year Focused
As hiring becomes more competitive, starting earlier to recruit means building a relationship that lasts.
Tailored to Any Company, Any Role
Share the unique values, qualifications, and tools used at your company for a real look into your organization
Pre-Internships Bridge Education and Career
Career-connected experiences (like internships & co-ops) are the #1 career success driver. The bad news?
There simply aren't enough opportunities available
Only 1 in 4 college students partifipate in an internship per year

First generation and low income college students are less likely to hold an internship

Graduating without an internship means missing out on a higher starting salary, better job offers, and long term career satisfaction
There has to be a better way. Pre-Internships are the answer.
