Gain Exposure

Learn about TCS Education System

The Community Solution (TCS) Education System is a one-of-a-kind nonprofit organization that, since its founding in 2009, has been at the forefront of innovating the higher education landscape. Higher education is facing obstacles such as school closures, loss of funds, and increased competition. Despite these challenges, our organization continues to grow—and that’s because we’re challenging traditional views of the sector and creating new pathways. We embrace cooperation, not competition, bringing together distinct educational communities that share a common goal to enhance student outcomes.

Interns will work within our System Office community, which provides strategic support and operational expertise to our five college and university communities. Check out our available internship opportunities at this link:

Reflections from TCS Interns

Following completion of the internship, it is our goal to maintain valuable connections with all our interns to support potential future opportunities within our organization. Many of our previous interns have continued to work part time providing project support or have transitioned to permanent, full-time positions with the organization, which is one of our many proud accomplishments.

“I think that [the final presentation] was the best part of the entire internship. The presentation really pushed us out of our comfort zone and taught me a lot about how to prepare for a presentation for executives in the future.”

“I think [the engagement sessions] were an amazing way for the interns to network. I am
really grateful to have made those connections and learn a bit more about each department
as people and professionals.”
