US Edition‘This isn’t school’: Teaching work etiquette to summer interns
KANSAS CITY AREA, AUG 1 – ProX accepted 660 interns from 3,000 applicants to provide career experience and support, prioritizing students from low-income neighborhoods and partnering with 95 companies.
- In 2021, business owner Robinson introduced the paid five-week summer internship, telling interns `This isn't school` and stressing attendance at the early June launch.
- Amid 3,000 applications this summer, only about 5% of high school students secure internships, and most are turned away due to hiring barriers.
- The ProX program benefits employers by handling all paperwork, coordinating placements through employee mentors, and funding uniforms and zTrip rides, supporting interns' success.
- Participants reported a student values her public health internship at Children's Mercy Hospital as a great opportunity to gain experience.
- Looking ahead, ProX, launched in 2021 by the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation, continues to focus on breaking down participation barriers, says Franco-McKay.
