ETEC Initiatives

Internships In Industry (I3)

To get first preference apply by this Friday, March 10th!

A School-to-Industry Talent Bridging Partnership

At the Board meeting last Friday, we launched ETEC's newest initiative. Internships In Industry (I3) is an ETEC-led partnership with schools, students, and companies to bridge the gap between the classroom and experience through internships.

East Tennessee Economic Council member companies and others are invited to participate in this innovative new program. This program connects high school junior and senior students from Oak Ridge, Anderson County, and Clinton High Schools with businesses and manufacturers in short, easy-to-manage internships.

Please help us spread the word to suppliers and partner companies in your industry. Let’s give our future workforce a reason to stay in the area and a chance to become exemplary employees. Thank you for helping ETEC to grow and sustain our future workforce!
