Inroads

Inroads

INROADS was founded in 1970 by Frank C. Carr to fix what he perceived to be a lack of ethnic diversity in corporate America. INROADS originally launched with only 25 interns working at 17 sponsoring corporations in the Chicago area. Since then, INROADS has expanded to become an international organization with over 5,000 interns and over 600 sponsoring corporations.

Mission Statement

The mission of INROADS is to develop and place talented minority youth in business and industry and prepare them for corporate and community leadership.

Qualifications

INROADS is open to graduating high school seniors and college students with two or more years left before they graduate. A student must have a GPA of 2.8 or better if in college. If the student is a senior in high school they may qualify with a GPA of 3.0 or better and have either a ACT score of 20 or better, SAT score of 1000 or better, or be ranked in the top ten percent of their graduating class. These qualifications may vary by affiliate however.

Internships

All the internships offered through INROADS are paid internships though the actual rate of pay varies from company to company. Also in addition to working at the sponsoring company, INROADS interns are required to attend training sessions hosted by INROADS with the purpose of teaching interns business skills.
