Building a workforce for the future
Creating a truly representative workplace doesn’t happen by chance—it requires forward-thinking, inclusive leaders like you. While our nation reflects a rich tapestry of backgrounds and perspectives, this is not always mirrored in organizational leadership. Together, we can change that. The Script connects talented individuals with businesses committed to fostering inclusive teams. Whether your business needs summer interns or full-time hires, The Script is a powerful recruitment tool that helps you unlock the benefits of varied perspectives, innovative thinking, and equitable opportunities, all while contributing to a movement reshaping the future of leadership and bridging opportunity gaps for underrepresented professionals.
Career Development Programs
Summer Internships
For current college students and recent grads (within 1 year)
Hire driven interns to fill your summer roles. The Script matches your company with college students and recent graduates eager to contribute while gaining real-world experience.

Employers provide structured, full-time internships with one-on-one mentoring throughout the summer. This is your opportunity to shape the next generation of talent and contribute to a more inclusive workforce.
What you provide your interns:
- A 30-to-40-hour workweek for 10-12 weeks
- $18 per hour wages at a minimum
- Transportation reimbursement or a remote work setup
- Regular one-on-one mentor sessions with a designated employee
