• Many college students struggle to find internships, not because they are untalented, but rather because the opportunities that are closest to them are the most difficult to locate. Large platforms frequently fail to list local internships or projects.

• That’s why I came up with InternSync, a platform designed to connect students with local businesses, startups, NGOs, and freelancers in their own communities. The idea is simple ,students can sign up, share their interests and skills, and browse opportunities posted by local organizations who need extra help.

• Who benefits?

 Students who struggle to find opportunities near them, small businesses that can’t afford full-time hires but need short-term help, and local communities that grow stronger when students and organizations collaborate.

• Why this matters to me:

 I’ve seen many people feel unprepared for jobs because they lacked experience. InternSync can make this connection happen, giving students confidence and making businesses more productive.

InternSync would include:

• Smart matching system using AI to connect students with opportunities based on skills and location.
• Verified profiles for both students and businesses.
• A project board with filters for part-time, remote, or in-person roles.
• Feedback and rating system to ensure trust and accountability.

With InternSync, students wouldn’t have to wait until graduation to get experience , they could start building their careers locally, right now.
