WISH announces new WiSE program<\/strong><\/p>\n

WISH Housing announced today the launch of its Washington Intern Study Experience (WiSE)<\/a>, a work experience program modeled to accommodate and advance a school\u2019s affordable and inclusive priorities through student internships in Washington, D.C., leading to higher retention rates to a degree and job.<\/p>\n

\u201cInternships change lives, but unfortunately too many colleges and universities don\u2019t possess the infrastructure, resources or network to send their students to D.C. for a semester,\u201d said Jacqueline Lewis, founder of WISH.  \u201cOur WiSE program breaks down these barriers, empowering school officials seeking to bolster their students\u2019 academic performance, career development and future employability in our nation\u2019s capital.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

WiSE is a program that\u2019s offered by WISH, the leading intern housing and residential life services provider in Washington DC. WiSE integrates student housing, on-line\/on-site classes, intern placement and career development within a modular program that meets every school\u2019s academic, affordable and inclusion priorities.<\/p>\n

WiSE is currently accepting applications<\/a> for DC internships beginning in the fall semester of 2018. As part of the WiSE program, students will reside in WISH housing, located on Capitol Hill among a community of their peers. Additionally, the WISH\/WiSE Foundation Scholarship Fund provides scholarships to participating schools to make the program inclusive to all, regardless of financial status.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve designed a student-centric, D.C. internship program that\u2019s affordable for every student who interns through WiSE,\u201d said Lewis.  \u201cWe\u2019re affordable, because of our 25 years of D.C. know-how, our network of 25,000 alumni, our government and non-profit connections, and our second-to-none student housing on Capitol Hill.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Lewis added that \u201cWISH works with colleges and universities around the world providing thousands of DC interns student housing for the terms needed; fall, spring, summer or all year. Faculty housing, classrooms, conference rooms, and reception rooms are available for WISH residents\u2019 needs. Historic venues for alumni receptions and fundraisers are available for schools. This is our foundation for launching our WiSE program,\u201d Lewis concluded. <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
