Abbott&#8217;s high school interns complete meaningful, quality STEM-related work during their summers, including in areas like research and development, manufacturing, quality and regulatory, and operations.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This innovative effort supports students as they earn their degrees and pursue STEM careers,&#8221; said <span class=\"xn-person\">Mary Moreland<\/span>, executive vice president, Human Resources, Abbott. &#8220;It will truly be a positive change in students&#8217; lives. Our goal is to help more students \u2013 particularly women and people from underrepresented groups \u2013 become STEM professionals.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The recommendation from the American Council on Education, the major coordinating body for U.S. higher education institutions, validates the quality of Abbott&#8217;s program and enables attainment of educational and career goals for participants.\u00a0 <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;ACE&#8217;s Learning Evaluations program seeks to empower learners and improve economic mobility by validating learning experiences in post-traditional settings. Abbott&#8217;s program can serve as a model, showcasing a commitment to quality training and preparation of learners for real-world applications. This supports our philosophy that <i>what<\/i> a person learns is more important than when and where the learning occurs,&#8221;\u00a0said <span class=\"xn-person\">Michele Spires<\/span>, executive director for Learning Evaluations at ACE.<\/p>\n<p>\n        <b>Real Experience, Real Lives<br \/><\/b>Abbott recruits interns starting as sophomores from specific high schools located near its facilities that meet certain criteria, including student populations with racial, ethnic and\/or income diversity.

The opportunity for students to earn credit while obtaining career experience only makes them higher-quality candidates when they apply to colleges, she said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You can&#8217;t buy this kind of experience anywhere,&#8221; Hester said. &#8220;Without a doubt this program and the college credit will make a difference for our students, and the skills they gain will make them marketable and valuable as future employees.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Graduating senior <span class=\"xn-person\">Anushka Agashe<\/span>, 18, who will be attending the <span class=\"xn-org\">University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign<\/span> this fall to major in bioengineering, said she will gain a head start toward earning her degree by completing her internship this August, her third summer with Abbott.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Abbott&#8217;s high school internship is giving me a double advantage,&#8221; Agashe said. &#8220;First, the possibility of receiving college credit relieves financial burden. It&#8217;s tuition I won&#8217;t have to pay. That&#8217;s on top of the real-life, hands-on experience I&#8217;m getting while working with professional engineers.

Abbott has started hiring its first former high school interns as full-time engineers: 73% are women.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If we want to live in a world where everyone benefits from the next great breakthroughs, we have to solve the STEM gender gap,&#8221;\u00a0said <span class=\"xn-person\">Sabina Ewing<\/span>, vice president, Business and Technology Services, and chief information officer, Abbott. &#8220;Offering high school girls STEM internships helps them see a world they couldn&#8217;t before: BIPOC, women engineers, scientists and IT professionals solving tangible problems \u2014 like creating an app for COVID testing.
