Texas Interns Unite! emphasizes the many benefits of internships and connects interns across the state with Texas employers and each other through virtual and in-person events, as well as a digital LinkedIn networking platform.

In partnership with the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB) and Texas Working Off-Campus: Reinforcing Knowledge and Skills Internship Program (TXWORKS), this initiative allows interns the opportunity to build relationships and strengthen industry connections.

The Texas Internship Challenge portal is a no-cost site where employers can post internships and where students can search and apply for them. The site offers paid and academic credit internship opportunities around the state. The Texas Internship Challenge was developed as a result of a recommendation from Texas Workforce Commission (TWC), the Texas Education Agency, and THECB to Governor Greg Abbott as part of the Tri-Agency Initiative. 

Employers interested in providing paid internships for undergraduate Texas college and university students can be reimbursed through TXWORKS. In 2022–2023, the state will fund $10 per hour for eligible internships, and participating employers match that amount. Get involved with TXWORKS.
