The first internship program at Vermont Technical College began through a partnership of the college with IBM to address the tremendous shortage of technical talent in the Burlington area. Given the increasing demands in the semiconductor industry, IBM needed to reinvent a recruiting strategy that would interest college graduates. The solution came in the form of a summer intern program that would combine challenging assignments, training classes and the promise of a permanent assignment upon completion of a college degree should the student do well.
