CLA Internship Challenge 2021

Students are navigating a challenging internship environment due to the impacts of COVID-19. The CLA Roadmap commits to CLA Student Readiness: Preparing the most desirable candidates on the market. A big part of that commitment is supporting CLA students in finding impactful internship opportunities. The CLA Internship Challenge 2021 is an effort to connect CLA students with meaningful summer internship opportunities and CLA alumni around the world. To do this, we need the help of our amazing community of CLA alumni and friends!
