We recently had the privilege of presenting at the Association of American Colleges and Universities' (AAC&U) Network for Academic Renewal conference in San Francisco. In keeping with this year's theme, "Creating a 21st Century General Education - Responding to Seismic Shifts," GreenFig addressed the role of internship opportunities in promoting better outcomes and creating better access for students.
At GreenFig, we prepare students to step into careers they love and provide professional development for the current and future workforce. GreenFig offers an accessible term-long program we call an Apprentorship™ – a mentored, apprenticeship-like experience. The Apprentorship provides students with the opportunity to learn from industry experts, receive hands-on technology training and certifications, and are able to work with a real company on a project where they are able to combine all of the skills and lessons that they learned throughout the term. It helps students feel more confident, more prepared, and more qualified when entering the workforce.
As adjacent industries continue to evolve, higher education must not be left behind.
