What's so great about internships?

Hosting interns of any age is a great way to introduce the next generation of workers to our industry and the amazing career opportunities it holds!

Hosting interns can also be a great solution to any labor shortages you may be experiencing, particularly during the busiest time of year - SUMMER!

If you're a Sacramento area employer interested in hosting interns contact the Program Administrator, Amanda, at

Are you a BIA Member?

The North State BIA has generously contributed $150,000 to help offset wages for the summer of 2018!

All BIA members in good standing are eligible to receive a $1600 reimbursement for intern wages for interns hired through the NSBIF Internship Program who work at least 160 hours.

Interns can be any age from 16-24, meaning you get to choose whether you want high school or college interns!

More than 60 after school skill-building workshops will be held in fall 2017 at 10 local high schools for juniors and seniors to prepare them for internships in the trades.
