What Employers Art Saying

“It’s because of the Talent Link program that our organization was able to continue working with Matthew, one of the most capable and impressive interns our team has ever had.” 
— John Wiegand, Manager of Business Intelligence and Research, The Right Place 

“Enya has been a tremendous asset to our team. We’d love to host another Talent Link student next year.”

Beginning in the upcoming academic year, the Talent Link Program will move from a $15,000 per-student model to a $10,000 per-student commitment from employer partners. That amount is now divided into:

• $8,000 scholarship awarded directly to the student ($4,000/semester)
• $2,000 infrastructure fee to support Talent Link program operations
