“Texas Interns Unite! expands this year with its mission to connect Texas employers and students, by including areas such as internship information and opportunities for employers in rural communities and internship opportunities for people with disabilities” said TWC Commissioner Representing Employers Aaron Demerson. “I’m excited to champion this initiative which is a win-win for our Texas employers and students, as it is one of the best ways to find your future workforce while also providing our young Texans with an opportunity to find their career pathway.” 

In partnership with THECB and Texas Working Off-Campus: Reinforcing Knowledge and Skills Internship Program (TXWORKS), employers interested in providing paid internships for undergraduate Texas college students can be reimbursed through TXWORKS. The state will fund $10 per hour for eligible internships, and participating employers match that amount.  

“Internships are a steppingstone for Texans to begin or grow their career through networking and learning valuable insights to help them find and succeed in high-demand, meaningful careers,” said TWC Commissioner Representing Labor Alberto Treviño III. “Texas Workforce Solutions focuses on developing all levels of Texas talent through internship, apprenticeship, and youth summer camp programs.”   

Visit TWC’s Texas Internship Challenge website which provides a no-cost central point for employers to post internships and for students to access multiple paid and academic credit internship opportunities across the state.
