***Please Help!!*** Life Science Cares, Inc.’s Project Onramp has an urgent need for companies to step up and provide internship opportunities for college students impacted by poverty. We have many more talented students looking for an opportunity than we have internships this year, and we really need the industry’s help. Our students are looking for science AND business internships. Please don’t let this tremendous potential go unrealized due to lack of access. If your company is willing to interview talented students for a summer internship, with no obligation to hire unless there is a fit, please send me a direct message here on LinkedIn Thank you! #CareActively
