UpTurnships

UpTurnships™ is a non-profit preparing college students for career success through training, coaching and PAID internships during college. 'UpTurns' are the best prepared interns and create immediate value for their employers. UpTurnships is staffed by a driven group of change makers and supported by a team of dedicated volunteers which together are committed to creating a stronger, more sustainable workforce for our community. We strive to build bridges between high profile, high impact businesses and motivated, skilled, knowledgeable, yet under-resourced college students who are from demographics often underrepresented in their industries. Through solid partnerships and strong networks, UpTurnships will work to close the wage and opportunity gaps for under-resourced groups, creating clear career pathways and increasing earning potential for the young professionals we serve. Our efforts will also provide training and resources to create more welcoming corporate cultures within the companies which support our work. Through thoughtful collaborations, UpTurnships can support a skilled, informed, capable workforce.
