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.

Designed & Managed by Company Leaders

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

Graduating without an internship means missing out on a higher starting salary, better job offers, and long term career satisfaction
