Designed for college students looking to gain hands-on experience, the program continues its legacy of bridging the gap between education and the workforce through mentorship, industry training, and skill-building workshops.
Over the years, participants have benefited from immersive internship placements in fields such as technology, engineering, healthcare, business, and nonprofit leadership, allowing them to develop the competencies needed for long-term success. ILIA accepted 3 students from 2 states this month, majoring in Leadership, STEM, and Advocacy provides a strong foundation for driving change, managing teams, and leveraging technology to make an impact.
