The Reality:
In the Jeffco Student Internship video, we see students gaining life-changing experience in GIS mapping, cybersecurity, and local government. However, for many students, the choice between an unpaid internship and a necessary part-time job is a barrier to their professional future.
The Goal:
We believe every student deserves the chance to explore their career passions without financial hardship. By funding internships, you ensure that "durable skills"—like leadership and critical thinking—are accessible to every Jeffco student, not just those who can afford to work for free.
