StandOut Connect is a program that helps match gifted high school students with top university alumni for remote internships in their industry of interest. Potential sectors include finance, STEM, medicine, law, arts, and more. Students are taught how to build a resume, interview, and implement tools such as AI into their workflows before starting a two-month internship at their company match. StandOut Connect is funded by StandOutSearch, the largest free database for high school internships, which was created with the help of investment from UChicago’s Polsky Center for Innovation.
