Fun(ny) fact about the origin of our company name
Launched early COVID, Visions Internships was originally named Virtual Internship Solutions (VIS). We soon realized our company name was too long to remember and we needed something a little punchier.
Given the visionary individuals and organizations we serve, “VISions” seemed like the perfect fit… until a friend suggested we add “Internships” so people knew what industry we are in and didn’t mistake us for eye doctors. Fair point.
We Are Driven by the Power of "&"
We believe in career success & meaningful work. We believe you can be successful, as an individual or as an organization, and also change the world for the better.
We believe in "&." We reject the idea that life is an either/or proposition, and want everyone to operate from a place of abundance. We are deeply committed to showing young people they can both Do Well for themselves AND Do Good in the world; they do not need to choose between the two.
When we talk with potential interns, we say:
+ You can have a paycheck & a purpose.
