The "INTER" of INTERalliance is an acronym that describes series of actions and commitments of the INTERalliance members:
Identify …Cincinnati's young IT talent in 10th grade or sooner…
Nurture …the students with REAL growth opportunities and connections to REAL people who will help them with their interests and careers…
Train …the participants in truly usable technical and leadership skills that will make them the most desired employment candidates possible…
Employ …the program participants locally, first in paid summer IT positions for high school students, then in co-ops during undergrad and graduate programs, and ultimately in local positions that offer world-class challenges, compensation, and career growth that compete well with other technology corridors around the USA…
Retain …the talent locally by making the Greater Cincinnati Region as fertile an environment for career growth as anywhere in the nation, and return the Region to "most livable city" status by harnessing and brokering all of the area's economic development, cultural, educational, and sociological resources to meet that challenge.
FEEDBACK
FROM THE 2007
SUMMER IT CAMPS!
Changing the lives and perspectives of 80 of Cincinnati's
brightest young minds!
For four weeks starting on July 16th, twenty graduating 10th graders each week
got to experience a deep dive into the world of Information Technology at some
of the Greater Cincinnati region's leading employers.
The students were nominated by their high schools for a wide variety of reasons,
each responding to the request from the INTERalliance for students "who
would get the most out of being shown what's available right here in Cincinnati
in the way of career opportunities in IT."
The 80 students were selected from 16 local college-prep high schools, including
Cincinnati Country Day, Cincinnati Hills Christian Academy, Cincinnati Christian
Schools, Hughes Center HS, Indian Hill HS, Mount Notre Dame HS, Mother of Mercy
High School, St. Henry's District High School, St. Ursula Academy, St. Xavier
HS, Summit Country Day School, Sycamore High School, Ursuline Academy, Walnut
Hills HS, Western Hills University High School, Withrow University High School.
Sixty-five percent of the nominated students were young women! Read More
