SciTech Internship Program

Small employers/ business owners! Looking to hire talented interns? STEM majors! Looking for a paid opportunity in your field? The SciTech Internship Program is here to help! As a state-funded workforce initiative, SciTech doubles as both a small business and student resource. We help connect Minnesota's STEM majors to unique, paid opportunities in industry, while reimbursing employers for half of their interns' wages (up to $2,500 per student). The program is completely free to use and easy to apply for. Sound too good to be true? It's not. That's just the SciTech way!

?? Happy Thanksgiving from Champ and the SciTech Team! ??

We had the pleasure of meeting an awesome group of STEM majors at our Lunch & Learn event today! With students from Normandale Community College, Augsburg University, University of Minnesota, Minnesota State University, Mankato and Carleton College it truly was a cross-campus event! Ama Asantewaa gave a great presentation on the power of a professional portfolio and how to craft one as a STEM major. Thanks to everyone who came out! It was a fun way to welcome the weekend.

There's still time to apply to take part in the Web Dev Pipeline, but submissions close EOD Friday! If you're an entrepreneur, startup or small business in need of a custom website or app (or if your existing site/app needs an upgrade) apply for the Web Dev Pipeline and share your development needs. SciTech will pair selected participants with talented young developers from Macalester College who will create/develop your site. Macalester faculty provides technical support, while SciTech provides a grant to cover half the student's pay! It's easy AND affordable! So what are you waiting for?
