Michigan Tech EV Scholars are invited to participate in this summer’s slate of Detroit Intern Experience events, which will take place between June 12 and August 3, 2023. The 2023 Intern Experience program is sponsored by Delta Dental.
This summer’s program includes 15 virtual events that will cover skill building, professional development, financial literacy, and more useful and relevant topics that new hirees are expected to know (or learn quickly) prior to starting their career.
In addition, three in-person events will allow interns to meet up, hang out, discover what Detroit has to offer, and have fun! Registration is required for each event to receive access instructions.
The events are FREE to EV Scholar students. Just take the links to register for the events you’d like to attend.
