Description
The Wyoming Department of Workforce Services offers Internship Grants through its Workforce Development Training Fund. The program helps Wyoming businesses and eligible nonprofits provide short-term, structured work experiences that develop an intern’s skills, knowledge, and abilities in a new industry or occupation.
Internships should give participants meaningful tasks, a qualified mentor, exposure to the organization, and regular training and feedback. They are learning opportunities, not a way to replace work a regular employee would routinely perform. The program also supports career connections while helping employers develop a potential talent pipeline. Preferred industries may receive special consideration.
