Supporting Student Internships: Why It Matters in Business with Michelle Calloway
The Power of Mentorship
Do you recall a time when someone, perhaps a mentor or a teacher, offered guidance that propelled you toward success? Mentorship can be a beacon of light, especially for those navigating the early stages of their careers. Many successful individuals can attribute their achievements to having multiple mentors guiding them along the way. At Tech With Heart, we recognize the invaluable role that mentorship plays and aim to extend this support to young, marginalized students through our internship program.
Breaking the Experience Barrier
One of the biggest challenges for fresh graduates is the “experience paradox”—how can one gain experience if no one is willing to provide that first opportunity? In today’s job market, practical work experience often outweighs formal education. This is where internships become essential. They provide students with a platform to apply their knowledge, gain hands-on experience, and bridge the gap between academia and the professional world.
Tech With Heart’s Unique Approach
Our foundation, co-led by service-disabled veteran Jerry B. Bowden, offers internships focusing on marketing technology. We empower students by teaching them skills in
- Digital marketing – strategy and AI-enhanced automation
- Media creation – graphic design, video production
- Social media management
- Copywriting, journalism, publicity
- Website design and development
Our aim is not just to teach technology, but to emphasize the human connection at the core of all communications.
From Internships to Apprenticeships
Our vision extends beyond internships. We aspire to develop a model akin to beauty schools, where students advance to apprenticeships, gaining real-world experience while still under supervision. However, to achieve this, we need support. Our program currently requires $9,000 to sponsor a student for a six-month internship, but with your help, we can expand and offer even more opportunities.
