Are you ready to take the first step toward building your future career? The DirectEmployers Institute Spring Internship is a unique opportunity for high school and college students to gain hands-on experience, develop professional skills, and make meaningful contributions to a real-world project—all while preparing for future internships and careers.

This fast-paced yet exciting program is designed to prepare you for success.

Whether it’s organizing food donations, creating activities, or reaching out to students and businesses, you’ll play an essential role in making a difference.
