One Program, Two Returns: Where Talent Development Meets Community Impact
Prelude partners with leading companies to develop high school internship programs for local students from lower-income communities. Most companies begin the program as a community engagement initiative. The unexpected benefit? The experience ends up being valuable for the interns’ managers as well.
84% of Prelude intern supervisors say the experience contributed to their own professional development: sharpening how they delegate, coach, and give clear, actionable feedback. At the same time, each manager is deeply impacting a young person by providing them with an early professional work experience.
Join us for a candid, virtual panel with:
• Quinton Cookis, Brand Manager – Goldfish, Portfolio Strategy | The Campbell's Company
• Lauren Toner, Program & Operations Manager | NFI Industries
• Daniel Gutowski, Data Analytics Manager | Audible
...as they share the day-to-day reality of managing a Prelude intern.
