Sprinternships™: Empowering Your Future Tech Talent

Unlock Potential with Break Through Tech’s Sprinternships™

The Sprinternship™ is a paid, full-time, three-week micro internship experience. In teams of five, undergraduate students will work collaboratively to tackle real business challenges posed by your organization. This is a unique, low-risk opportunity to assess these students’ skills, capabilities, and potential and determine if you want to funnel students into your internship programs. At the same time, use this immersive experience to highlight your workplace culture and give students a taste of what it might be like to work at your organization.
