Inroads is an organization that places minority students in professional internships. You need to be a high school senior already admitted to a college, or a college freshman or sophomore. There is a requirement to have a GPA somewhere in the neighborhood of a B. You can check the fine print.
This organization has been around for a long time. They gave my husband some really good opportunities that later led to a job offer.
About INROADS
quote:
INROADS is an organization that seeks to increase business career opportunities and knowledge for the best ethnically diverse students, while giving corporations the opportunity to develop diverse managerial talent. In response to the growing demand from business for talented, qualified, diverse employees, INROADS was established to identify interested and capable high school, college, and university students who would pursue business, accounting, actuarial science, engineering, computer and information sciences, sales, marketing, allied health, healthcare management, and retail store management careers.
INROADS recruits only the best students of color for pre-professional internship opportunities. Our students must have and maintain a B or better average.
Since its inception in Chicago in 1970, INROADS has grown from 25 Interns and 17 sponsoring corporations, to an international organization with 50 offices. Our staff provides ongoing academic support and career training and guidance to more than 4,500 Interns sponsored by over 400 companies. The tremendous growth of our organization is indicative of the business community's commitment to making a substantial investment in diverse leadership for itself, as well as, the greater community.
INROADS has received the U.S. Department of Labor LIFT Award in recognition of initiatives to enhance the quality of the American work force, and has been selected as one of "America's Top 10 Internships" by the Princeton Review and Vault every year since 1994.
Today, INROADS graduates are pursuing professional and managerial careers across the globe. Within that prestigious group, we are proud to report that many of our Alumni are successful corporate presidents and vice presidents. Others hold middle management to senior executive positions in both the public and private sectors. Still, many more have gone on to become successful independent entrepreneurs.
