The Internship Gap Is Costing Students Their Futures. Not Anymore.
The barriers are real — too costly for employers, too complex for institutions, too scarce for students. We remove all three, replacing friction with a platform built to make work-based learning work for everyone. We make it easy for employers to say yes to internships and for students to build their careers.

1 in 3
Only one in three students actually secures a quality internship
And the gap is growing.
The Challenge
Systemic Conditions Call for a Service Provider
The many-to-many problem between institutions and employers can’t be solved by either alone. The supply of quality internships doesn’t meet student demand — a new kind of partner is needed.
Employers
Internship costs and management burden make ROI difficult to achieve without a dedicated partner.
Institutions
Management burden and inability to place enough students into high quality internships impedes their ability to meet student demand and need for experiential learning.
Students
Quality internship supply falls short of demand, leaving millions without the field experience they need.
