Emma L. Bowen Foundation Internship
Unlike traditional
intern programs, the Emma L. Bowen Internship program allows students
to work for partner companies during summers and school breaks
from the summer following their junior year in high school until
they graduate from college.
During the
five-year program, minority students (African Americans, Asians,
Hispanics, and Native Americans) have an opportunity to learn
many aspects of corporate operations and develop company-specific
skills. Corporations have an opportunity to train and mentor students
with the option of fulltime employment upon completion of their
college degrees.
Students earn an hourly
salary and matching funds for college expenses. Academic excellence
is also a key component of the program—students are required
to maintain a 3.0 grade point average to remain in good standing.
The Foundation staff works closely with corporate partners to
monitor each student’s academic and work progress.
An annual student conference,
a community service program and a mentoring program are also provided
to further enhance the student’s knowledge and experience.
Resource guides for both students and corporate supervisors are
provided to maximize the student’s experience while in the
program.
