CHIPs - Hamilton

CHIPs Workforce Alliance EST. 2020

The Citywide Hamilton Internship Program was once a vision that turned into reality. Every day, we're grateful for the many companies, businesses, organizations, partners, sponsors, donors, individuals and interns who have made this experience possible. Without them, we would cease to exist today.

LET'S TALK building your brand as a young professional in 2024.

Building your brand is all about doing the inner work that reflects outwardly in personal and professional settings. As we head into the internship off-season, here are a few things to consider that will help you stay ahead as a candidate.

- Practice proactivity.
- Be authentic, but mindful.
- Network, network, network.
- Show up consistently.
- Share your story.

FOUR YEARS OF IMPACT, OPPORTUNITY, AND GROWTH!

We couldn't be more grateful for the opportunity to partner with local organizations to create pathways to success for underemployed Black and Brown people in our community.

Thank you to every individual, business and organization who's support over the years! Here's to many more years of continued success.
