THANK YOU to our 2024 SPONSORS!
Since 2015, hundreds of college students from Wisconsin and Michigan’s Upper Peninsula have participated in Internship Draft Day at Lambeau Field. The event is like an NFL Draft, but instead of receiving a football contract, students who choose to participate in the scoring can be awarded a college scholarship. ALL student attendees have the opportunity to secure a paid internship, part-time job, or apprenticeship.
Preregistered students who choose to participate in the scoring receive points from their resume based on their level of participation in college clubs, relevant work experience, and grade point average (GPA). Students receive additional points on Draft Day for their performance during their prescheduled interviews.
Each company conducting interviews chooses their MVI – Most Valuable Interview at the end of the event, in addition to scoring each of their prescheduled interviews. Points are calculated to determine the top draft picks. Students can also choose to network only and not schedule any interviews but will not be part of the scoring competition. Either way, Internship Draft Day is a win for college students and NEWMA member employers!
Northeast Wisconsin Educational Resource Alliance (NEW ERA) and the NEW Manufacturing Alliance (NEWMA) organize their annual Internship Draft Day. They work collaboratively to expand manufacturing career pathways and build a talent pipeline.
