What is an internship?  (National Association of Colleges & Employers, NACE).  An internship is a form of experiential learning that integrates knowledge and theory learned in the classroom with practical application and skills development in a professional setting. Internships give students the opportunity to gain valuable applied experience and make connections in professional fields they are considering for career paths; and give employers the opportunity to guide and evaluate talent.

Virginia Talent + Opportunity Partnership (VTOP)

 

The Virginia Talent and Opportunity Partnership (V-TOP) works collaboratively with institutions, students, and employers to increase connectivity through the development of readiness resources and innovative engagement solutions to foster internship opportunities for Virginia students.

Why should employers get involved?

A top concern of Virginia employers is access to an adaptive, well-trained workforce. Additionally, the benefits of internships and other work-based learning experiences on workplace readiness and career development cannot be overstated. It is important for employers to offer these opportunities to build their talent pipelines and provide an educational pathway to a career.

V-TOP connects students and employers to help position the Commonwealth as a national leader in workforce development and talent attraction.
