Introduction
To meet the challenge of the competitive global economy, private industry and government agencies must expand the pool of technical talent.
ENTRY POINT!, a program of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), offers outstanding internship opportunities for undergraduate and graduate students with disabilities in science, engineering, mathematics, computer science, and some fields of business.
Entry Point! has developed unique partnerships with IBM, NASA, Merck, Google, Lockheed Martin, Shell, NAVAIR, Pfizer, Procter & Gamble, Infosys, and several university science laboratories. Working with its partners, AAAS identifies and screens students with disabilities who are pursuing degrees in these fields and places them in paid summer internships around the country.
