    [ad_1]

    This Summer 2026 Intern program turns Dallas into a hub for student entrepreneurs building their own businesses with AI.


    DALLAS, October 14, 2025 (Newswire.com)
    –
    A new internship program launching in Summer 2026 will give students something far beyond shadowing or coffee runs. HighLevel, the all-in-one AI Business Operating System used by over 2 million businesses worldwide, is debuting the HighLevel Summer Internship, an 8-week paid program where students build and scale their own SaaS agencies.

    Interns will acquire real customers, generate revenue and master the tools reshaping the future of work: AI and automation. Instead of studying theory, students will put AI into action by helping small businesses grow while earning both a salary and income from their ventures.

    What makes this different:

    • Dallas-built, globally scaled: Interns join a company that has grown to over 1,800 employees and 110,000+ customers in just a few years.

    • AI as a co-founder: Students use AI tools to build real businesses.

    • From classroom to customers: Hands-on experience in acquiring and onboarding their own customers.

    • Paid to innovate: A program that pays students while they build sustainable businesses.

    “AI isn’t taking opportunities away, it’s changing what opportunity looks like,” says Wesley Williams, VP of Marketing at HighLevel. “We’re teaching students how to stop competing with AI and start creating with it. Through our internship program, they’re using technology to make an immediate impact on small businesses that need their help the most.”

    Backed by a platform that’s helped SaaSPRENEURs generate over $1.8 billion in revenue and more than $9.7 billion in total customer revenue to date, HighLevel’s internship program gives students a rare opportunity to learn from and contribute to a proven model of real-world business success.

    “The job market isn’t what it used to be. For years, students were told that good grades, a college degree and hard work would guarantee success. Yet we’ve watched entrepreneurs, creators and influencers achieve incredible success outside that traditional path,” states Sarah Robertson, Manager of HighLevel’s Internship Program. “This shift has opened the door for new pathways, and entrepreneurship is leading the way. This program puts that success back in the hands of the individual, equipping students to think like entrepreneurs, build real businesses and develop the foundation to become successful business owners in any field.”

    Applications for the inaugural cohort open January 2026. Spaces are limited.

  • Generation USA Internship Program Gives Businesses a Competitive Advantage

    Generation USA Internship Program Gives Businesses a Competitive Advantage

    Funding support from management consultants McKinsey & Co. helps new workers gain training, experience, and connect with employers seeking diverse workforces.

    WASHINGTON, November 17, 2022 (Newswire.com)
    –
    Peace Ntaganzwa was looking for a way to launch her career. DUKE.AI, developers of an SaaS platform for transportation companies, was looking for talent. Generation USA brought them together, with support from the management consulting firm McKinsey & Co.

    Generation USA is a nonprofit organization – part of a global network with 7,000 graduates in the U.S. – that transforms education into employment systems to prepare, place and support people in otherwise inaccessible careers in tech.

    One of those partners is DUKE.AI, an end-to-end, AI-based document processing solution for the trucking industry. CEO Marcus Cooksey said working with Generation USA is a relationship that connects companies with talented people they often cannot identify or reach.

    “It’s not just one of those things where you sign a piece of paper and say, ‘We have a partnership.’ I see that all the time,” Cooksey said. “It’s the active involvement from Generation USA that has allowed us to grow in our company and in the talent pool that they’ve provided. Partnering with Generation USA has become a competitive advantage for DUKE.ai.”

    In 2020, Generation USA partnered with DUKE.AI to offer a paid data scientist internship. The goal was to provide learners access to the tech field, helping further close the opportunity gap for the students Generation USA serves.

    Peace Ntaganzwa graduated from Generation USA’s Web Developer bootcamp program and used Generation USA’s Handshake system to find the DUKE.AI internship. There, Ntaganzwa learned the versatile Python programming language and how to use it to automate tasks and generate data.

    “I’m thankful for the experience. It unleashed my potential to run,” Ntaganzwa said. With the skills and experience from the internship, she landed a full-time position as a quality development engineer at Amazon.

    The Generation USA internships would not be possible without support from McKinsey, which provides funding for internship stipends. The stipends provide a living wage, allowing the interns to take part in the program and benefit from their experience.

    “These internships are really meant to serve as a bridge towards accessing higher-wage, high-growth job opportunities,” said Esther Hong, career advancement manager at Generation USA. “McKinsey’s support has made a great impact for us and for graduates to date. Over 200 graduates have completed an internship, and we’re hoping to have over 300 complete an internship by the end of the year.”

    Internships align perfectly with Generation USA’s mission of benefiting both workers and employers. Generation USA graduates increase their skills and their confidence through experience in the workforce. Internships give graduates an edge in seeking jobs, from both the work experience and the referrals from the people they work with—the first steps toward building a network of connections.

    “Employers also benefit by gaining access to a diverse workforce, a talented workforce,” Hong said. “And as with all internships, it allows them to check out talent that they might want to hire on permanently, which we’ve seen several internship providers do.”

    About Generation

    Generation is a nonprofit that transforms education to employment systems to prepare, place and support people into life-changing careers that would otherwise be inaccessible. The global pandemic has led to an unprecedented surge in unemployment. Even before the pandemic, more than 75 million young adults were out of work globally and three times as many were underemployed — and 375 million workers of all ages needed to learn new skills by 2030. At the same time, certain jobs remain in high demand and 40% of employers say a skills shortage leaves them with entry-level vacancies. To date, more than 38,000 people have graduated from Generation programs, which prepare them for meaningful careers in 14 countries. Generation works with more than 3,900 employer partners and many implementation partners and funders. For more, visit usa.generation.org.

  • The Kids Kindness Project and Genesis Hopeful Haven Aim to Close Foster Youth Unemployment Gap With The Internship Project

    The Kids Kindness Project and Genesis Hopeful Haven Aim to Close Foster Youth Unemployment Gap With The Internship Project

    [ad_1]

    While Unemployment Is At A Record Low, Foster Youth Is Still Left Homeless And Unemployed.

    MIAMI, March 5, 2019 (Newswire.com)
    –
     Two organizations have come together to tackle the problem of unemployment amongst foster youth – an issue that often leads to homelessness. According to a multi-state study, 50 percent of former foster children are unemployed. Even those who do have jobs can run into trouble supporting themselves, as more than 71 percent report an annual income of less than $25,000. This population is highly vulnerable.

    The Kids Kindness Project and Genesis Hopeful Haven have aimed to close the gap by creating The Internship Project. “We are preparing our foster kids, so they don’t become just another statistic,” says Fritzie Saintoiry, CEO of Genesis.

    The longer someone has been in foster care, the smaller his or her chance of achieving adoption or permanent guardianship. Youth who “age-out” of the system have turned 18 and now face very low odds of achieving Independence and living productive lives. With no family support and a lack of essential skills, how will these youth be self-sufficient?

    Joshua J, 18, says his biggest fear of aging out of the system is being homeless. In 10th grade, now left to survive on his own, he states, “If you don’t have a place to go, you’re not getting a job. If you don’t have a job, then you’re not going to have anywhere to go.” However, Joshua’s outlook on life changed when he participated in The Internship Project last summer.

    The Internship Project prepares foster youth for the professional world by providing a chance to acquire valuable professional experience. After participating in the program, Joshua and many others discovered areas of interest for their careers, uncovered hidden talents and gained confidence to pursue job opportunities in the future.

    Too many child welfare systems don’t offer the basic programs that make the difference between a successful career and a life spent struggling to get by. For every success story, there are still countless former foster youth who don’t know if they’ll ever be able to support themselves.

    To reach more youth in need, The Internship Project staring a brand-new concept. The first “NEVER GIVE UP” conference; a motivational speaking seminar which will be held this Spring in Miami Dade welcoming 150 foster youth. “Our goal is to give foster youth the strength and motivation they need to succeed their transition into adulthood,” says Alexandra Hokfelt co-founder of the project.   

    Youth who attend the event will benefit from incredible motivational speakers and have the chance to sign up for The Internship Project to be paired up with employers in our communities.

    This project gives companies the opportunity to be part of a network of businesses that care and change lives by welcoming participants for a one-day internship. As Benjamin Franklin said, “Tell me and I forget, teach me and I may remember, involve me and I will learn.”
