SENIOR INTERNSHIP PROGRAM

Program Vision: Our vision is to increase the inclusion of underrepresented populations in STEAM fields by adequately preparing our students for STEAM college majors and careers.

Program Goals: Speer Academy faculty and students will work with you to meet the following objectives

• Establish a mutually beneficial partnership with business partners: professionals provide mentorship and teach professional skills while students contribute to unpaid work to the business or organization.
• Connect students with professionals according to their areas of interest.
• Explore the educational requirements, traits and skills required in a career of interest.
• Develop hard and soft skills in a professional setting.
• Promote the training of future employees in STEAM careers.
• Increase the inclusion of underrepresented populations in STEAM and professional fields

Internship Logistics:
