Information for Employers

Internship Benefits

Build Talent

Engaging PrepareRI interns allows employers to help shape the pipeline of future talent in Rhode Island.

Help Prepare Students for Careers

High school and college interns complete rigorous, employer-driven work-readiness training prior to the start of their internship. SkillsRI has a robust “matching process” that connects students with internship opportunities that align with their future career interests.

Make Connections

PrepareRI allows for employers, schools and students to make meaningful connections for student learning in high school, college and beyond.

PrepareRI Internship Framework

Skills for Rhode Island’s Future (SkillsRI) has designed an “employability framework” which sets the expectations for student learning. This framework was built from nationally researched best practices and Rhode Island based employer focus groups.  

Skills for Rhode Island’s Future is the employer of record for all interns to reduce liabilities and risks employers may have by hosting or engaging with interns.
