FocusMaine and Educate Maine on Thursday announced the Equity in Internships Program for students who are Black, Indigenous or people of color (BIPOC).
It aims to build on the success of the Maine Career Catalyst summer internship program by creating opportunities for students of color with the skills but not the financial means to get a running start on a future career, and to bring greater diversity to Maine s workforce.
The Equity in Internships Program, an initiative of the Maine Career Catalyst partnership between FocusMaine and Educate Maine, was created from a $50,000 grant from the Harvard Pilgrim Health Care Foundation to reduce barriers that have prevented students of color from accessing internships that pave the way to careers.
