What Students Do
Since 2018, startups have found great success by hiring Empowerly students.
During these internships, our students have worked in a wide variety of technical (SWE/coding) and business roles, adding value to the startup wherever it’s needed most. Most popular roles offered by startups:

Participating companies have been increasingly impressed by the high school interns’ performance, passion, and ability to deliver on critical projects to sustain and accelerate growth. Interns can be remote or in person, unpaid or paid, spring, summer or fall—whatever works best for you!
And the best part about SIP? It’s completely free for you.
TESTIMONIALS
The interns (software engineering and marketing) were intelligent, hardworking, reliable, and highly engaged. I look forward to hiring summer interns from Empowerly again this year!
– Lucas, Co-founder
We’ve been a member of Empowerly’s internship program since 2021 and the quality of interns that you get is very high. They are typically high-performing high school students whose work is often stronger than other college graduate interns that we’ve hired as their goal is to demonstrate experience in a field in order to boost their college applications. I highly recommend you take advantage of this resource.
