We are so excited to introduce our Gigs in Greensboro (GIG) Cohort!

This signature program will combine Xtern's deep roots in our community through volunteer & civic organizations with our desire to provide greater professional pathways to our local college graduates.

For: UNCG Computer Science majors 

Students must be rising Juniors or Seniors who have successfully completed CS 330 with a grade of C or better. (We hope to expand this program to other 4-year Computer Science programs in the near future!)

Complete: A paid summer internship at Xtern Software through Campus Greensboro

Students must apply and be accepted into the 10-week Campus Greensboro Summer Fellows program. This paid summer internship includes professional development and networking opportunities through Campus Greensboro. Learn more about the Summer Fellows program. 

Build: Technology to benefit the City of Greensboro's Parks & Recreation Department 

This paid technology service project work will take place during the summer internship. Learn more about the City's Parks & Recreation Department.

Visit: Local employers with the UNCG Career & Professional Development department 

Participate in tech treks where real-world technology professionals will share their experiences. Students will participate in prep sessions with UNCG and then visit the offices of local employers. Learn more about UNCG Career & Professional Development.

Win: A scholarship while gaining valuable work experience!

The scholarship will be awarded at a luncheon in May each year. To be eligible, students must have successfully completed their internship (in which they worked on the technology service project), and participated in at least 2 employer treks.
