Collaborative Internship is an extension of Service Corps, our technology training and community service program for social good, by partnering with local businesses and nonprofit organizations to give students hands-on, real-world experience while simplifying the internship process for employers.
How It Works
We handle everything: recruiting, hiring, onboarding, training, supervision, management, mentorship, payment, and internship coordination with education partners. You get a motivated intern without the administrative burden.
- We meet with you to understand your needs and identify the right internship opportunity.
- We match and interview candidates from our high school and college partner networks.
- We hire your intern, enroll them in our Service Corps program, and provide baseline training.
- We help onboard them into your organization alongside your team.
- We support everyone throughout — weekly reports, regular check-ins, and a final review.
Cost
For a typical quarter-long internship: an employer pays 5,000 to the intern (5,000 to Cascade STEAM to facilitate the program.
