Took some time to dive into some survey data today about our funded Frederick A. DeLuca Micro-Internship program at Parker Dewey. MANY quotes stood out to me, but this one showcases the importance of our network. Q: What made you take advantage of the offer for fully funded Micro-Internships through this program? A: Paul Polo I can't share enough about this program and the benefit of Micro-Internships for both companies and career launchers, but when our champions and Micro-Internship site supervisors share their experiences, it makes a difference! If you're in my network and have worked with a Micro-Intern, please share your experiences as a comment here! If not, comment what your hesistation is in trying out the program. I bet I can find a quote from another company to quell your fear...

What does the future of talent look like? We believe it's a tapestry woven with diverse threads, each representing a unique potential waiting to be realised. In just four years, the 10,000 Interns Foundation has received over 50,000 applications and empowered over 7,000 Black students and graduates to step into their futures through paid internships. These numbers aren't just statistics. They're a testament to the hunger for opportunity and the vast reservoir of untapped talent that exists within the Black community. They're proof that when we dismantle barriers and create pathways, extraordinary things happen. But our work is far from over. We're committed to scaling this impact, fostering a world where every dream has a chance to flourish.

District C was featured in the latest American Student Assistance report: "Building Bridges Between Education and Industry: Youth Work-Based Learning as Talent Development Strategy." More businesses are beginning to recognize the value of opening their hiring funnels even earlier than the traditional university internship. We saw this vision back in 2016, when our founder and CEO, Dan Gonzalez, launched Teamship. Since then, there’s been a moderate increase in the number of businesses offering high school internships, from 30% in 2018 to 38% in 2023. While we know there are more opportunities out there, challenges such as navigating high school students’ schedules and finding suitable work make it difficult to engage. That’s where Teamship comes in—we work with school districts to create team-based learning opportunities that seamlessly integrate into students’ schedules. We’re thrilled to see the rise in high school internships, but we know there’s much more work to be done in expanding these opportunities for young, diverse talent.

A balanced approach to summer can set your students up for success. While it’s essential to relax and rejuvenate, integrating productive activities like volunteering, internships, or campus visits can significantly benefit college preparation. Engaging in these activities helps high schoolers explore interests, gain valuable experiences, and get a head start on college lists, applications, and essays. Striking this balance ensures your student is both refreshed and ready for the challenges ahead. #MythbusterTuesday #CollegePreparation #SummerActivities #HigherEd #FutureSuccess
