The Texas Engineering and Technical Consoritum (TETC) operates a web site for All Across Texas, where companies can provide their link or application document to prospective student interns. Internships are a proven retention strategy.

The purpose of the All Across Texas site is to provide a single point of outreach for companies to market paid internships. In addition, All Across Texas provides professional and leadership development training beyond the traditional internship experience through wee-long camps. Camps provide interns with information about preparing for the workforce such as effective interviewing and professional skills needed in the workforce today.

 

“All Across Texas” also includes a Student Ambassador Program. Through presentations, participating college interns share with high school students across Texas why they chose engineering as a field of study and future career, as well as their knowledge and experiences gained during their internships. These interns serve as role models for future engineering interns, and as advocates for a stronger engineering and computer science workforce.
