Through IvyWise Internships, high school students have the opportunity to gain genuine, resume-building work experiences through structured, project-based summer internships. Students don’t just observe; they deliver. Each student partners one-on-one with a dedicated mentor at a host company and owns a real project for an active team, gaining experience they can point to in interviews, on college applications, and beyond.
