Kansas Micro-Internships Project Grants

The Kansas Micro-Internship program supports the Kansas Board of Regents’ “Building a Future” strategic plan and the Kansas Department of Commerce’s aim to “connect businesses, job seekers, educational institutions and training providers to ensure the state’s workforce is equipped to meet industry needs and to help create economic success for Kansas.”  Funding for the KMI program has been provided by the DeBruce Foundation and the Strada Education Foundation and the Kansas Department of Commerce.

Micro-Internship projects completed by undergraduate students currently enrolled in any of the Kansas public community or technical colleges are at no cost for Kansas employers and entrepreneurs through the end of 2024 thanks to funding provided by the Strada Education Foundation.

The first two no cost Micro-Internship projects for Kansas employers and entrepreneurs completed by undergraduate students enrolled in any of the seven Kansas public universities will resume on July 1, 2024, thanks to funding provided by The DeBruce Foundation and the Kansas Department of Commerce.
