How are interns selected for the program?

Step 1: Develop an Intern Job Description
Employers submit an Intern job description, including any existing skills considered mandatory for that position. United Way can help you think about projects and tasks suitable for an intern and which advanced skills might be required.

Step 2: Review pre-screened resume for Intern applicants
Candidates submit a Business Pathways Intern Application. United Way works with its Doorway partners to recruit and screens against the intern job description to determine the best fit for intern’s interest and skill set. The employer receives pre-screened resumes of potential intern applicants to review.

Step 3: Interview and select your interns
United Way matches interns and employers based on both parties needs.
