The Garage is thrilled to debut the Summer Startup Internship program, the newest initiative aimed at providing students with the rare experience of working at early-stage startups in the real world - founded by alumni of The Garage.
Students now have the unique opportunity to sharpen their skills as founders and gain valuable real world experience working full-time and in-person at four different startups across the nation, spanning industries and specializations. In this pilot cohort taking place during the summer of 2024, five internship positions are available.
Notably, The Garage is providing a $5,000 stipend to each student intern, plus additional and varying compensation provided by the participating companies in order to make the biggest impact on the students spending their summer in the program.
