in San Antonio has connected about 500 interns to dozens of small businesses in San Antonio since it started back in 2016.
The Students + Startups Internship Program was founded in partnership between the San Antonio Area Foundation, 80/20 Foundation, Geekdom and local universities. “It is an internship program where we pair young talent in San Antonio with small businesses, startups, and nonprofits who are looking to cultivate their talent base and really grow their pipelines in San Antonio,” Katlyn Jones, director of program development at 80/20 foundation said.“We also provide a 50% stipend support, so interns receive $6,000. They work a ten-week summer internship.
“We’ve got three really bright interns here this summer. All of them are making real contributions,” Robert Miggins, CEO and co-founder of Big Sun Solar said.“The program allows you to have a cohort of other individuals who are like minded and they’re a really good support system to be able to fall back on,” Grigsby said.“We want the interns to have a real work experience so they can go back to school.
