Inclusive Internship Project

Looking for interns? Let Edgewood College help find you some!

The community needs a strong workforce —beyond quantity of workers, our economy will benefit from the contributions of quality employees. This includes not only technical skills, but also excellent communication and interpersonal skills, and the ability for self management. These “soft skills” can be learned on-the-job, but students who learn these early will be able to contribute to their companies faster and more efficiently. By participating in the Inclusive Internship Project, student interns receive a stipend through an Edgewood College gift so that your organization has the opportunity to partner with us, progress in your goals and timelines, and still keep finances in check!
