Summer 2016 Hike to Indian Peaks
Colorado Leaders, Interns and Mentors in Business (CLIMB) is an intensive paid summer internship program for students from Yale, Harvard, Stanford, Middlebury, Brown and MIT. The 30-50 students learn the business, professional, civic, and social offerings of the Denver area. CLIMB offers students challenging paid jobs, introductions to the community and its leaders, alumni mentorships, interesting events and group housing for the summer. Visit the CLIMB website at climbtherockies.org.
Local alumni volunteers of the universities and colleges collaborate in this effective educational initiative. The program showcases the region’s opportunities, leaders, and beautiful locations to student participants, and attracts talented graduates for permanent positions in the region.
In its first six years, CLIMB has:
- Recruited over 110 summer employers offering paid internship positions
- Secured 133 students for internships, most of whom are not from the region originally
- Attracted over 1700 students as applicants
- Had seven CLIMB students accept full-time positions in Denver after graduation
- Provided mentors and exciting events for the students
- Raised money from local alumni to support the high-rise group housing, a block from the center of Denver’s dynamic downtown
