RVA Collab hosts first Internship Workshop!
April 22, 2022
We enjoyed bringing regional employers and higher education leaders together for our first Internship Workshop of our VTOP partnership, now named RVA Collab. We had an excellent turnout at the event, with 73 of the registered 76 attendees present at the workshop. The workshop included an employer panel of small, medium and large sized organizations with internship programs in the Richmond region along with a higher education panel made up of regional higher education leaders from local colleges. Attendees had time to collaborate and discuss best practices with one another over a working lunch, and everyone was given a copy of the VTOP Employer Toolkit to take home and use as a reference point for improving internship programs.
