Internship Program

The Career Program is a powerful way for industry-leading companies and organizations to make a significant contribution to the development of tomorrow’s leaders. Posse partners with these organizations, which in turn provide meaningful internship opportunities to Posse Scholars. These internships are essential to Scholars’ professional development and success. Many of these Career Partners offer a comprehensive program involving mentorship, professional development opportunities and performance evaluations. Posse currently has more than 100 career partners.

Career Services

Career Services offers career planning assistance to Posse Scholars. The Career Program develops workshops that focus on resume writing, interviewing skills and other professional development areas. These sessions are offered during the summer and winter breaks. This component aims to educate Posse Scholars about potential careers and to guide them through the process, from targeting an industry to securing a job.

Alumni Network

Posse Alumni remain actively involved with the Foundation. As leaders, they are succeeding in a variety of fields in the workforce. Posse Alumni are doctors, teachers, engineers, graduate students, lawyers, social workers and bankers. Of Posse Alumni with two or more years of professional experience, 45 percent have a graduate degree or are currently pursuing a graduate degree. The Alumni also act as an excellent resource for each other and for current Posse Scholars.
