Businesses Sought to Provide Summer 2023 Paid Internships
Become a 2023 Internship Provider
Recently, numerous Minnesota technology business leaders attended an event at Target Field in Minneapolis to learn more about the 10-year Minnesota Aspirations in Computing Award (MNAiC) summer internship program and consider becoming a summer 2023 internship provider.
Since 2013 nearly 100 high school students who identify as women, genderqueer, or non-binary have supported area businesses to achieve technical goals to address a myriad of company needs and issues. In the summer of 2022, eighteen top-tier award honorees worked for 7 companies in roles that were fully or partially remote, or fully in-person. All the students worked with small to large teams of technology professionals, offering their inspiring energy and remarkable technology skills. The students earned $16-$20 per hour to help pay family expenses and future college costs.
