Ohio Diversity & Inclusion Technology
Internship Program
Lt. Governor Husted provided a reminder about the Ohio Diversity & Inclusion Technology Internship Program, which pairs college students with tech companies and any company with a technology-related need.
The program is looking for additional businesses to apply.
Program Overview
The Diversity & Inclusion Technology Internship Program is a great opportunity to work at some of Ohio's most innovative companies! These paid internships give college students great experience in business and entrepreneurship, while companies get great young, diverse talent to help them compete and grow.
Interested Businesses
This is your chance to get some great, diverse young talent to work on any number of interesting projects! The program reimburses two-thirds of the intern's wages up to $10,000. You can be a technology company or simply a company with a technological need.
Companies do need to provide a meaningful internship experience, must have non-residential work space, and must hire interns as employees (W-2). You can hire as many as three (3) interns for different positions. The minimum wage for interns is $15 per hour but can exceed that amount.
