Bridge into Internship

  PRE-INTERNSHIP FOR HIGH SCHOOL SENIORS

 

Do you know a high school student ready to make the next step in their STEM journey?

We’re excited to share a unique opportunity for high school seniors who are continuing their STEM journeys at community or 4-year colleges.

The Bridge Into Internships program helps recent high school graduates prepare for college-level STEM internships by building foundational professional and technical skills through exposure to real-world STEM research at a national lab. Designed for students pursuing STEM degrees at community or 4-year colleges, this experience introduces them to internship pathways at Argonne National Laboratory. Mentored by Argonne scientists, participants will explore real-world challenges and learn about STEM careers by engaging in authentic scientific research experiences.

We’d appreciate your help sharing this opportunity with students in your network.
