Springboard Academy partners with universities to place interns on real client and product work, with mentorship, OJT credit, and a path to a full-time role.
Every intern leaves with proof of work they can show. Every project leaves something Springboard — or a client — can actually use.

Every intern is placed on one of three tracks — software, business, or founder — matched to how they think and what they want to build.
Build and ship real features across web, mobile, and AI-powered tools, including platform migrations.
Source and qualify leads, then move them through the pipeline into signed clients, gaining full exposure to the sales cycle.
Identify a real problem and build the solution end-to-end, developing the ownership and initiative expected of a founder.

A cohort runs for one university term — usually three to six months — and is scheduled to fit your school’s OJT or practicum hour requirements.
Real Springboard workflows or real client problems, depending on the track — never simulations or made-up case studies.
No. Every intern joins a Springboard team with a named mentor, regular check-ins, and feedback on their work from day one.
You work on real client or product work that ships, not busywork — with structured mentorship, OJT credit, and a chance to be considered for a full-time role.
