Project Onramp
Project Onramp creates access to paid summer internships for talented, motivated college students who are under-resourced and often first-generation, helping to bridge the opportunity gap for promising young people. Students gain valuable hands-on experience and companies build non-traditional talent pipelines.
SD2 connects underserved students to the power of STEM by providing education, mentorship, and workforce development, ensuring that exceptional talent—regardless of background—has the resources needed to lead within the STEM community.
The internship follows Acadia’s hybrid work model, which includes three days per week in the office. As a result, the internship cannot be completed fully remotely.
Can I start at a different time?
The 2026 Summer Intern Cohort will begin mid-June. All interns are expected to start during that timeframe to ensure a consistent and collaborative cohort experience.
What if I have a vacation planned during the program?
The internship program runs for 10–12 weeks, and due to its structured and immersive nature, extended vacations during this time are not recommended. We encourage candidates to consider their availability before committing to the program.
