Interning with Spirit of Tomorrow was the best experience of my life. Not only did I learn the skills that I needed to succeed in the industry, but I also gained business experience that I continued to use to further my career. Years later, I continue to reap the benefits from what I learned at Spirit of Tomorrow.
- Jason Ritter (Intern 1996)

Beginning with the summer internships in 1996, a tuition fee has been required. This fee is used to create an additional workstation specifically for each intern. Upon the successful completion of their programs, interns are allowed to take the hardware and software necessary to continue their training or to establish a business with them. The ownership and registration of hardware components and selected software is transferred to the graduating intern.

While Spirit of Tomorrow internship program is exploratory in nature, we encourage students to discover and focus on their interests. Traditionally students are required to participate at Spirit of Tomorrow's facilities a minimum of 20 hours each week and may take advantage of Spirit of Tomorrow's 24 hour per day, 7 days a week policy.

Donations
In 1995, it became apparent that interns needed to be on their own computers. Due to the demands the staff at Spirit of Tomorrow was placing on the equipment, there was no longer an adequate amount of computer time available for interns. This reinforced a major complaint from interns that quality machines and programs were not available to them while not at Spirit of Tomorrow or upon completion of their internship.

As a result, we at Spirit of Tomorrow are always accepting donations of machines and equipment that can help our interns reach their full potential. If you are interested in donating equipment or supplies, please do not hesitate to contact us. Please email us or call (1-866-324-6901) to donate.
