PROGRAM OBJECTIVES
Internship Pensacola is a joint effort by the Pensacola Young Professionals, the Pensacola Bay Area Chamber of Commerce, and the University of West Florida. The primary objective of this program is to retain young talent within our community, so that our city's business and social environments can grow and thrive. Internship Pensacola is designed to provide local college students with valuable internship opportunities during their summer semester. Throughout the 13-week program, students will work with their choice of various local businesses, thereby gaining greater knowledge and experience within their field of study while also earning college credit hours and a full-time salary. In addition, students will engage in several social events designed to show them that Pensacola is an excellent place to live, work, and play after college graduation.
