Build an Internship Future Talent Will Remember

What if you could introduce a talented student to your company—and your industry—before they ever choose a college major or career path?

The Fulton County Schools Gifted Internship Program connects gifted high school juniors and seniors with local businesses and organizations for real-world internship experiences.

But a great internship takes more than giving a student a desk and a to-do list.

In this practical session, you’ll learn how the Gifted Internship Program works, what’s expected of participating businesses, and how to create a placement students actually want.

We’ll cover how to:

Identify meaningful projects and responsibilities for a student intern
Set expectations for the student and your team
Provide useful guidance and feedback
Create an experience that exposes students to real careers and workplace expectations
Make sure your team is ready to host a student well

For businesses thinking about their future workforce, this is an opportunity to start earlier.

Give a student a great first look at your industry today, and you may be introducing your business to tomorrow’s employee, customer, partner, or leader.
