STEP-UP Chattanooga to kick off 5th year on Dec. 11

Employers interested in hosting an intern for the summer are invited to the launch of the fifth year of STEP-UP Chattanooga. Companies interested in hiring an intern for the summer can attend a breakfast on Dec. 11 to learn more about the program from STEP-UP staff and companies who have hired interns in the past.

STEP-UP Chattanooga, an initiative of the Public Education Foundation of Chattanooga, connects businesses with highly motivated student interns. It provides work readiness training, on-the-job experience, professional mentors and ongoing support to them.

Since its launch in 2016, more than 500 internships have been created for students at more than 90 local companies.

The event Dec. 11 begins at 7:30 a.m. at the DoubleTree by Hilton in downtown Chattanooga at 407 Chestnut St.
