Collaborative Internship

Collaborative Internship is an extension of Service Corps, our technology training and community service program for social good, by partnering with local businesses and nonprofit organizations to give students hands-on, real-world experience while simplifying the internship process for employers.

How It Works

We handle everything: recruiting, hiring, onboarding, training, supervision, management, mentorship, payment, and internship coordination with education partners. You get a motivated intern without the administrative burden.

We meet with you to understand your needs and identify the right internship opportunity.
We match and interview candidates from our high school and college partner networks.
We hire your intern, enroll them in our Service Corps program, and provide baseline training.
We help onboard them into your organization alongside your team.
We support everyone throughout — weekly reports, regular check-ins, and a final review.

Let’s Collaborate

Everyone wins! Employers get a well-supported intern with minimal overhead. Interns get valuable training and real-world, hands-on experience. Cascade STEAM re-invests in our Collaborative Internship and Service Corps programs. And we all contribute to Building a collaborative, supportive, and civic-minded STEAM community for social good.
