Corporate Partners
Mission-minded corporate partners from a variety of industries host students for an immersive internship experience. Before applying for an internship, students participate in Future Link’s Career Coaching Program and work one-on-one with a Career Coach on their resume, LinkedIn profile, cover letter, and professional story, and hone their interview skills. Students interview with local organizations and join the team where they gain first-hand knowledge and skills in their desired career field. Below are some of the recent businesses and organizations where a Future Link student has interned.
