WorkReady’s Summer Internships provide Philadelphia high school students with paid workplace experiences at area businesses for six weeks during the summer. These internships give young people a taste of the working world, exposure to career opportunities, and an understanding of how school is connected to economic success.

The program is an integral component of WorkReady Philadelphia, a system of programs supported by a broad-based partnership that is dedicated to building the region’s future workforce. WorkReady is managed by the

Philadelphia Youth Network (PYN) in collaboration with dozens of organizations including four key employer recruitment partners: the City of Philadelphia, Greater Philadelphia Chamber of Commerce; Philadelphia Academies, Inc.; and United Way of Southeastern PA. Through its Working Solutions initiative, the Chamber has helped to more than double the number of WorkReady internships over the past two years.
