Thirty-six high school juniors kicked off their summer internships on Monday, June 10, as part of the 2024 Summer Rock Internship Program’s Signing and Orientation event at Blackhawk Technical College’s Central Campus.

Through a partnership with Blackhawk, the County of Rock, Rock County 5.0 and the Southwest Wisconsin Workforce Development Board, the 2024 Summer Rock Internship Program is a paid, six-week earn-and-learn opportunity that provides students with a structured career pathway experience.

The Summer 2024 cohort is the fifth time this program has been offered in Rock County, and this summer’s program will conclude on July 26 with an intern graduation and capstone presentation day event.

Students participating in the Rock Internship Program were required to submit a resume, a letter of recommendation, and an academic and career plan. These background items, as well as other factors such as a student’s identified career pathway and/or actual occupation of interest, were used to match students with their worksites.

Employers participating in this summer’s program include: ANGI Energy, Angus-Young Associates, Beloit Health System, Blackhawk Technical College, CCI, Charter Next Generation, Edgerton Health, Frito-Lay, Helicopter Specialties, JP Cullen, MercyHealth, OrthoIllinois – Beloit Surgery Center, Prent Corporation, R.H. Batterman, Rock County Public Health, Scot Forge, SSM Health, Stateline YMCA, The Morse Group, University of Wisconsin-Whitewater at Rock County and the YWCA.
