What is LAUNCH?
Launch is a mentorship program that provides opportunities for students to work alongside seasoned professionals in business and franchising. This program, unlike many internships, will expose students to behind-the-scenes work on emerging and established brands, alike.
What makes us different?
We offer two different learning experiences that allow students to take charge of their own development as young professionals in an encouraging, learning-centered environment. We will gladly work with universities to offer school credit for time spent with our program.
Paid Internship: Our 6 to 12-month paid internship provides students with hands-on experience and learning alongside a mentor in their area of study or interest. This model is in person and ideal for students looking for functional experience on their resume before graduating.
Summer Immersion: For those interested in exploring the business industry, our unpaid Summer Immersion will provide a deep dive into the inner workings of how businesses function. During this 6-8 week hybrid program, students will gain an understanding of the core business function, roles, and responsibilities of different departments at Franworth. Students will also work with a team to complete, deliver, and present a project to the company.
