About the campaign
We are celebrating the Jack Kent Cooke Foundation’s 25th anniversary with a new era of Cooke Scholar and Alumni community engagement. With the launch of the Alumni-sponsored Internship Campaign, we are calling on Alums to give back to the community by connecting Scholars to career-building internships for our anniversary summer 2025 and beyond.
Hire. Mentor. Champion. Together, we will build our future.
how it works
1. Share an Opportunity to send us details about the summer internship(s) you would like to advertise to Cooke Scholars.
2. We will promote your internship opportunities to our talent pool of Cooke Scholars via our Job Board, LinkedIn group, and other targeted communications.
3. We will alert you and/or the hiring manager of any Cooke Scholars who indicate they are applying for your internships.
4. You or the hiring manager hire the candidate who best fits your needs.
how we can help
1. Not sure if you have an internship opportunity to share? Have questions about how to connect Scholars to internships in your company? Contact us to brainstorm ideas and answer questions.
2. Would you like to host a recruiting event? We will connect you with interested Scholars.
