The 2008 Virginia Technology Internship Program is coming together fast – we’re looking for companies interested in offering paid internships to some of the best and the brightest rising seniors from local high schools. The mentor companies that participated in the 2006 and 2007 programs have been unanimously positive about their experience with their interns, and we’re looking to make 2008 the first year that we place every interested student in an internship.

The Council is partnering with Genworth Financial and VirginiaFIRST to offer students the opportunity to apply knowledge and skills learned in their IT-related courses, working in a business environment as they discover the potential rewards of pursuing technology-related degrees and careers. Mentor companies have the opportunity to make a meaningful contribution to the lives of their interns, and to have a real impact on workforce development in central Virginia.

If you participate, you will be able to review the student resumes and select your preferred candidates. To become a mentor, please complete this form and fax to Barb Jones at (804) 622-7766.
