Genesys Works provides training, professional internships, and college and career coaching for students in the Twin Cities.
Genesys Works has 300+ corporate partners and 3,700+ internships!
High school juniors are eligible for this program and will receive training over the summer and a paid internship ($16,000!!) opportunity during their senior year if accepted.
Students start their journey by completing eight weeks of rigorous business technology training, gaining essential skills in the areas of information technology, business operations and professional development.
Once students successfully complete their skills training course, they are matched to a paid, year-long internship at a partner company site. Our “earn and learn” approach offers twenty-hour work-weeks while in school, further developing and refining student skills and while providing highly valued services to their host company.
While students are working at their internship, they are also receiving more than sixty hours of guidance, counseling and planning relative to their future career path. Examples of supports in this area include college selection and applications, certification training and placement, and financial aid assistance.
When students join Genesys Works, they also gain access to a community of support from other Genesys Works alumni. As subject matter experts with relatable experiences, our robust alumni network provides students invaluable guidance and support as they navigate their future career paths. Alumni are there to support students all along the way as they navigate academic, social, and financial obstacles that too often serve as a barrier to sustained career success.
These presentations were given in all 11th grade English classrooms. (English and Spanish available)
