All employers offering internships, regardless of size and sector, are encouraged to submit a nomination form. The nomination form should take no more than 5 to 10 minutes to complete.
Virginia Intern Day Student Ambassadors
We are looking for Virginia Intern Day Student Ambassadors from each college and university in the Commonwealth to serve as representatives or advocates for V+TOP and Virginia Intern Day. The purpose of the role is to spread the word and promote Virginia Intern Day by showcasing their internship in Virginia during the 2022-2023 academic year (including summer 2023). Students should be nominated by their college or universities academic affairs or career services office to participate. Some benefits of becoming a Virginia Intern Day Ambassador include networking opportunities with peers, campus leaders, and employers across the state. In addition, Ambassadors will gain leadership and communication skills that enhance personal and professional growth. Finally, Ambassadors will be internship student advocates representing their higher education institutions, and this opportunity helps to promote internship awareness and participation across college campuses. Have your students register here.
