PowerUpTech transforms individual internships into a shared regional experience – bringing interns together across dozens of companies for shared professional growth, mentorship, and community-building that creates lasting ties and strengthens Buffalo’s talent pool.
Last year, PowerUpTech welcomed over 240 interns from more than 70 local employers.
The result: talent density compounds. Interns return as early-career hires,
cohorts grow into mid-level strength, and top performers become senior leaders—rooted in Buffalo because opportunity starts here!
For Students:
PowerUpTech curates exclusive experiences to show you all of the cool stuff that Buffalo and its innovation economy have to offer, taking you from the Sabres locker room to the top of Seneca One Tower, and everywhere in between.
For Employers:
PowerUpTech programming augments your internship experience, ensuring that an intern’s experience from 5-9pm is just as great as 9am-5pm in the office.
”We bring in 100 interns every summer in hopes that we can get them to fall in love with Buffalo. But the power of PowerUpTech is bringing all of the interns from the city together and immersing them in an experience that makes sure they understand that this is a place where they can grow their lives and careers.
