Our Work

The St. Louis Internship Program (SLIP) goal is to provide hope and opportunity for high school students in financial need through paid summer internships, intensive work readiness training, and year-round college and career planning, in partnership with businesses and community organizations, and to build the St. Louis community by developing motivated, well-trained, and talented future employees.

SLIP Featured on PBS “Pathways to Work”

Our Impact

Since 1992, 98% of SLIP interns have successfully acquired work readiness skills, graduated high school, and pursued postsecondary education and professional careers.

SLIP internships are much more than just summer jobs. Eight-week paid summer internships are preceded by a guided application process and rigorous work readiness training and followed by year-round college access activities. An intensive guided application process develops skills needed for college and job applications. In ten required Saturday training sessions prior to the internships, students set personal career goals and develop job seeking, work readiness, and practical office skills. Year-round college prep and career planning activities help interns access post-secondary education. Ongoing SLIP networks of peers and professionals provide support, role models, and networks for future jobs. SLIP assists the St. Louis region by helping to develop and cultivate a diverse talent pipeline which impacts:

Economic Development

• Through SLIP, hundreds of thousands of dollars from interns’ wages is injected into our community

Workforce Development

• Through SLIP, the critical gap between our talented young people and the needs of our region’s work force is bridged• A follow-up with our graduates shows that a majority are employed, continuing their education or serving in our nation’s armed services

Professional and Personal Development

• Through SLIP, internships, professional networks and college access/persistence activities help students realize their potential and options for the future and assist them in reaching their personal, educational, and professional goals
