🎉 That’s a wrap on the 2026 Cherokee Summer Internship Program!

🎉 This summer, 23 students from across Cherokee County gained valuable hands-on experience with 14 local employers, exploring careers in industries ranging from healthcare and manufacturing to marketing, government, nonprofits, law, and more. Through meaningful, paid internship opportunities, these students built professional skills, expanded their networks, and took important steps toward their future careers. A huge thank you to our participating employers for investing in the next generation of talent and providing experiences that made a lasting impact. Your mentorship, guidance, and commitment to workforce development are helping shape Cherokee County’s future. The Cherokee Summer Internship Program continues to demonstrate the power of partnership between the Cherokee Office of Economic Development, Cherokee County School District, Cherokee County Chamber of Commerce, and our business community to connect education with real-world opportunity. 🔗Read the full story and see how this year’s interns and employers benefited from the program: https://cherokeega.org/news/cherokee-county-summer-internship-program-opens-doors-for-students-and-employers/ (link in bio).
