Career STREAM
Summer Internship
Career STREAM is a 6-week paid summer internship where high school student interns work with college student mentors to complete some basic STEM training modules, learn about STEM opportunities, and work on a team STEM project. Each STEM project will focus on the design, construction, and testing of a component that will integrate with a robotics platform.
Student interns will apply skills they already have and learn new skills as they complete training modules and their team STEM project. These skills will help them succeed in any career they choose.
Intern recruiting for Summer 2024 begins in March 2024 and ends on 5 April 2024.

You need experience to get a job. Working gives you experience.
Internships are increasingly important for students, employers, and experienced professionals in career pathway planning and workforce development. They allow for employers to connect with high quality talent in an ever more competitive labor market and utilize skills their incumbent workforce may be lacking. They also provide great opportunities for students to apply their classroom learning to invaluable real-world career experiences, and for experienced professionals to explore new career paths or reenter the workforce.
