Project Onramp

Project Onramp creates access to paid summer internships for undergraduate students who are from low-income backgrounds -- helping to bridge the opportunity gap for these promising young people. The program operates in five cities: Boston, the Bay Area (CA), San Diego, Philadelphia and NY and launching in LA and RTP (NC). We are a program of Life Science Cares. Project Onramp host companies commit or create internships for these high-performing students. You can set aside an established internship for Onramp candidates, or create new positions for Onramp to fill. Internships are not limited to STEM-related roles—we can match you with talented candidates with interest in business development, administration, HR, finance, IT, marketing, etc. We will send you several resumes for each internship position, and you will use your existing review and hiring processes to choose the student who best fits your needs. There is no cost to the program, other than the requirement to offer a paid summer internship. These internships are transformational for students, who gain both technical and other skills throughout the summer. Project Onramp provides professional development workshops, mentorship and industry networking opportunities for undergraduates who are part of the program.
