How the Summer Internship Works

The Intern Project(TIP) prepares LA County youth to explore their career options. Interns participate in a college and career readiness curriculum through our partnership with Los Angeles Trade Tech College to receive college credit. 

Our Process 
  • TIP recruits and screens all students through a rigorous application process.
  • We make matching recommendations based on your organization's internship description(s) and help set-up interviews for you. 
  • Once placed, student interns attend your internship while also leveraging support from TIP via: 
    • professional development trainings 
    • In-person networking events, field trips, and virtual workshops 
    • Mentorship 

Your Impact
  • Mentor 
  • Help build a diverse pipeline of future talent within our community 
  • Cultivate a learning environment at your workplace 
  • Expose your organization to volunteer opportunities within LA Promise Fund's Initiatives
