“The Mickey Leland program is a fantastic option for employers looking to enhance their company’s reputation and build a strong talent pipeline. Our company hired two interns through the Mickey Leland program. We were extremely pleased with the outcome and contribution of these talented students. As we grow and seek diverse perspectives, we plan to continue utilizing the program to further our business goals and strengthen our company culture.”

“The Mickey Leland Internship Program has been an invaluable partner to us, serving as a launching pad for a generation of our students in both private and public industries. It is a solid program with an established track record of providing college students with a structured, quality experience designed to enhance their professional growth. I can think of no better program for employers to build brand awareness among such a diverse pool of emerging talent.”

“Participating in the Mickey Leland Environmental Internship program was a very positive experience. Within days of the postings, we had received numerous quality candidate applications, and were able to fill our internship spots more quickly than we typically do through our own recruitment process. In addition, we were introduced to a large pool of candidates that may have never learned about our organization otherwise.”

North Central Texas Council of Governments (NCTCOG)

“MLEIP is highly recommended and mutually beneficial for interns and sponsors. The talent pool is unparalleled, consisting of bright, emerging minds from across the nation.
As a repeat sponsor, we appreciate the opportunity to train and equip these future leaders. We have been fortunate to employ these interns who exceeded our expectations.”
