Members of The DeBruce Foundation team team will facilitate a panel called “Using Virtual Internships to Expand Access to Opportunity”, highlighting how virtual internships serve to increase equitable access to internships, connect innovative employers to opportunity-seeking interns, and provide insight on establishing meaningful employer – employee relationships in a virtual work environment.  While vShips was initially a response to the circumstances created by the pandemic, internships going forward will include in-person, virtual, AND hybrid experiences.  The panel will also discuss how the lessons from the past year can be applied in various ways to advance equitable opportunity in the future of work.
