Internships That Work: Designing Scalable, Supportive Models for Students & Mentors

Internships are often considered the gold standard of experiential learning, providing students with hands-on skill development, professional networks, and career readiness. However, access to high-quality, structured, and meaningful internships remains uneven, leaving many students—especially those from underrepresented backgrounds—without the experiences they need to thrive.
This webinar will explore the challenges and opportunities in designing and scaling internships that truly work for students, institutions, and employers.

Panelists will discuss:

• How institutions can rethink partnerships, funding models, and program structures to expand access to internships
• Ways to embed structured learning and career competencies into internship experiences, ensuring real skill development
• The tension between scale and quality—how to grow internship programs without sacrificing mentorship and impact
