Highlander WorkReady Scholars

The Highlander WorkReady Scholars Program helps undergraduate students build the skills, experiences, and professional connections needed to secure internships and launch successful careers.

Selected students will participate in a cohort-based program that provides personalized career preparation, including:

• Resume and cover letter development
• LinkedIn profile optimization
• Interview preparation and practice
• Access to the VTOP Internship Toolkit and Career Readiness course
• Networking opportunities with industry, community, and government partner.
• Exclusive engagement with employers through career fairs and advisory board programming

Students who successfully complete the program will earn the WorkReady Scholar Certification, a credential that can be added to their resume and LinkedIn profile. Scholars may also have opportunities to participate in virtual internships and connect directly with employers throughout the New River Valley and beyond.

In addition, WorkReady Scholars may be eligible to apply for the Highlander Works Grant, which provides financial support for internships and other work-based learning experiences.

The Highlander WorkReady Scholars Program is designed to help students gain the confidence, skills, and connections needed for internship success and long-term career growth.
