MEDB’s Women In Technology continues to facilitate a robust internship program for high school and college students across the islands of Hawaii, Lanai, Maui, Molokai and Oahu. During the summer’s 2015 STEMworks™ Internship program, over 40 interns were matched with a host company or organization based on the company’s project needs and the interest and skills of the student. Over the course of six weeks, interns were mentored by industry professionals to advance their real-world experience, build their interpersonal and team communication skills, build confidence in their technological skills and abilities, develop deeper or new insights into STEM and/or Agriculture educational and career pathways, and develop new tech skills and knowledge. While working on company projects, interns also participated in career and professional development training provided by MEDB to help support their internship experience and to help develop their professional skills.
