Having a
meaningful summer internship is a key factor in successful
transition from college to employment. Having a network of
contacts to open doors to opportunities is another. The Emerging
Leaders internship program for students with disabilities offers
both advantages.
Since it's founding in 2001, the Emerging Leaders program has
matched undergraduate and graduate level college students with
disabilities with paid summer internships at prominent
corporations. The 2004 program offers opportunities for
internships at founding sponsor Booz Allen Hamilton and at other
corporations including JP Morgan Chase, KPMG, and Liz Claiborne.
Please share information on Emerging Leaders with those students
who have the drive to achieve, the desire to excel, and the
determination to meet and conquer one milestone after another.
Encourage them to visit the website
http://emerging-leaders.com/ for program details and
qualifications -- and to send in their application as soon as
possible!
Applications for the 2004 Emerging Leaders program are being
evaluated on a rolling basis so early application is encouraged.
The final deadline for consideration is February 15, 2004.
The Emerging Leaders program is supported by members of AAPD,
COSD, NBDC, NDSU, and the US BLN. Emerging Leaders was commended
by the Department of Labor as a promising corporate practice,
helping youth with disabilities gain entry into the workforce.
