COMPETE for students

COMPETE gets you the critical (paid) work experience and skills training that business and tech executives are looking for when they hire – and helps you build your industry network for your job search.

Skills Training

STEMatch worked with business and technology execs to identify the key work skills for which they hire. COMPETE offers a 10-week training seminar on those skills.

Career Mentorship

As part of the COMPETE program, you will be eligible for professional mentoring by executives and tech professionals from STEMatch partner companies.

Paid internships & co-ops

You will also interview for paid internships – to gain the work experience with STEMatch partner companies that you need to strengthen your resume. STEMatch pays for part of your salary, making you even more attractive to intern employers.

Dedicated networking and job fairs

STEMatch COMPETE Students get access to exclusive networking sessions with COMPETE Partner Companies, and can take part in a job fair dedicated to COMPETE Students and Partner Companies.
