TAG-Ed Summer Internship Program
Become a TAG-Ed Student Intern
Summer Internships Requests Start March 1, 2021
The TAG-Ed Summer Internship Program was created to give competitive students real world STEM experience with companies in metro Atlanta and the state of Georgia.
The internship Program is a 5 week experience where students work to develop their professional aptitude while building their technical abilities. By working on relevant projects, students leave the program with tangible work experience, invaluable connections, and a passion to pursue a career in the STEM field. TAG-Ed remains committed to recruiting top talent as this program continues to be one of the most selective and highly competitive summer opportunities. Interested students are advised to take time to preview the application before submitting to ensure they are putting time and effort into their application. We also offer a Career Readiness Series to teach students soft skills and enhance their professional image. Because we believe in the value of this information, attending one of these workshops represents a BADGE for participating in TAG-Ed's High School Internship Program.
I believe this experience was a great opportunity that would have been hard to obtain through my efforts alone. I sincerely believe the TAG-Ed program is particularly rewarding because of how great and responsive the coordinators are to the students' needs and expectations!

More than anything, this internship was an eye-opening experience for me to see and understand how tech companies work. With this knowledge, I now know what it takes to be a leader in the workplace, and I am more motivated to learn and do well in school.

Frequently Asked Questions
I am nervous about applying, I have never had an internship before…
Don’t worry, the majority of students placed in our program have never had work experience either! That is one of the reasons why we host this program. We want you to learn about workplace etiquette and careers in STEM as early as possible to give you the best chance of success in the future! Please take advantage of previewing the application before starting to put time into your responses. If selected for an internship, the TAG-Ed will host orientation sessions to share tips for success and help prepare you for your first day! Please direct any questions to the TAG-Ed team at internadming@tagonline.org.
