An intensive spring boot camp (2–3 days or a compact multi-session track) that prepares accepted and prospective summer interns for professional expectations: workplace communication, punctuality & accountability, basic digital workplace skills (email, Google/Office workflows), professional conduct, capstone/project planning, and employer-aligned technical orientation. Includes mock workplace scenarios and employer-led panels.

Pre-placement readiness reduces early attrition, increases internship completion rates, and raises the day-one productivity of interns. Employers report better onboarding when interns arrive with baseline workplace skills; students who complete readiness training produce stronger capstones and are more likely to leverage the experience for college and career advantage.
