Kansas City, MO, Oct. 13, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- U.S. internship openings were 49 percent lower than the year prior, as of May 11, according to the career site Glassdoor, a much higher decline than for U.S. job openings, which fell 27 percent. Yet internships are crucial for building our workforce and connecting individuals with opportunities to succeed. In a time of unemployment, canceled internships, and economic uncertainty, the responsibility to innovate for the future of work is more important than ever.

As part of this initiative, the foundation is hosting a three part virtual roundtable series. The second in the series, “How to Up Your vShips Game,” will explore ways to maximize your virtual internship program.
