The CITRIS Workforce Innovation Program helped UC students pursue world-changing research and accelerate their careers.
The program has concluded.
We are grateful to the state of California for five years of generous funding,
and to all of the host organizations that offered real-world skill-building opportunities
to more than 360 University of California students.
From 2021–25, CITRIS Workforce Innovation offered select University of California students — including undergraduates from all majors at UC Berkeley, UC Davis, UC Merced and UC Santa Cruz — the opportunity to inform their career decisions through eight-week paid internships in areas of emerging IT innovation. While building in-demand skills through on-the-job experience, participants also received training in leadership and project management, and were supported by dedicated CITRIS staff, as well as a community of peers.
Interested in keeping this opportunity alive for future students?
