The Talent Development Network (TDN) is an innovative economic and career development program on a mission to stop Miami's "brain drain." In the next 12 years, approximately 500,000 students will graduate from our local high schools. If we want to keep Miami's best and brightest, we need to build an internship culture for the future.
We're Partnering with Handshake for internship postings!
We've partnered with Handshake to give our students and employers a new and improved registration experience. Employers can hire students at any of the seven academic institutions at no cost, while students from across Miami-Dade gain access to top-notch paid internships and the opportunity to develop soft skills and form mentorships.
All internships will be posted via your institution's Handshake account. Please note that if your institution does not use Handshake for internships, our team will continue to work with you to ensure you have all the information and resources to create and promote internships.
