This is not a job board or a mass-application program. The A+ Internship Program is personalized, coached, and relationship-based, just like everything ALR does.

✔ Curated internship opportunities

✔ One-on-one coaching and preparation

✔ Resume and interview guidance

✔ Real conversations with real employers

✔ Ongoing support throughout the process

We are deeply invested in each student’s success.

While internships are not guaranteed, our process is thoughtful, intentional and proactive, leveraging ALR’s long-standing employer relationships and Amy Johnson’s expertise.

This program is about preparation + opportunity + confidence, not pressure.

The A+ Internship Program is built on ALR Connections’ long-standing relationships with small businesses. We stay intentionally rooted in the small business world because it offers students real exposure, mentorship and meaningful hands-on experience. Small businesses allow students to see the full picture, ask questions and make a tangible impact.
