Driven by a commitment to provide unique educational opportunities that seek the public good, Trinity, a four-year Chicago-based liberal arts college, is offering three academic credits to students who successfully complete Upkey’s online internship and business education program. The program is open to 1,000 students with the application process closing May 17.
“While COVID-19 has brought many unpredictable and abrupt changes, it cannot shake us from our core mission of helping students flourish by providing accessible education,” said Aaron Kuecker, Provost at Trinity Christian College. “When we learned about Upkey’s digital summer internships and saw their inspiring vision for helping students thrive, we were eager to create additional value in the program by making it possible for students to have their educational experience transcripted for college credit.”
Upkey’s Virtual Internship Program is an eight-week educational experience, starting on June 1. Each week, participants will be learning from expert sources, conducting research, and completing interactive projects. The program will cover a broad range of topics developed with the support of faculty from leading universities and top business schools across the nation.
