This session highlights program outcomes and shares lessons learned from supporting interns, including minority and first-generation college students, through hands-on learning experiences. Participants will gain insight into the role of partnerships in building sustainable internship opportunities and workforce development pathways. The presentation will also explore evaluation findings that demonstrate the program’s impact on professional preparedness, career development, and workforce pipeline creation.
