The Internship Pensacola program is a joint effort by the Pensacola Young Professionals and the University of West Florida. The primary objective of this program is to attract and retain young talent within our community. Doing so allows our community’s businesses to hire great local talent while also helping our young people find a viable career in this area. These achievements, in turn, allow Pensacola’s economic, social, and cultural environments to grow and thrive.
Internship Pensacola is designed to provide regional college students with valuable internship opportunities during their summer semester. Throughout the 13-week program, our IP’s students will work at a local business, thereby gaining greater knowledge and experience within their field of study. Typically, they will also earn college credit hours and a modest salary. In addition, students will engage in several PYP-led social/networking events designed to show them that Pensacola is an excellent place to live, work, and play after college graduation.

The IP program is also seeking PYP members who can help with the following challenges:
*Creating awareness of the program through on-campus events, releasing information to the media, and attending community or Chamber events in order to help promote IP.
*Working closely with employers to create and post available internship positions, and then helping students facilitate their application process and accept offered positions.
*Organizing program events such as the Opening Banquet, and coordinating social/networking opportunities that the intern class can attend as a group.
