Mission EDC

Week one of Mission Ready is in the books!

Our interns are already gaining hands-on experience across Mission — from business strategy, real estate, journalism, and economic development to creative arts and performing arts operations.

Shoutout to Jesse, America, Regina, Alyssa, Aeryn, Kayla, and Macie for jumping right in and making the most of their first week.

We’re excited to watch our interns continue learning, growing, and contributing to the businesses and organizations that help move Mission forward.

Six weeks. Real experience. Endless possibilities. 🚀

Last Friday, Mission EDC welcomed the inaugural class of the Mission Ready Internship Program for orientation at the CEED.

Students received an overview of program requirements and expectations and participated in sessions focused on workplace professionalism, building a positive digital presence, and financial literacy presented by Texas National Bank.

Over the next six weeks, these interns will gain hands-on experience across a variety of industries while earning a paycheck and developing valuable career skills.

Thank you to F&P Brands for helping kick off the program by providing breakfast and lunch for our students throughout orientation.

Mission Ready is designed to connect local talent with real-world opportunities while strengthening the workforce pipeline for our community. We look forward to following the journey of our inaugural class over the next six weeks.
