RISE 2018

RISE (Regional Internships in Science & Engineering) is a career and professional development program, providing meaningful work experience and professional relationships with local construction and engineering firms, consultants and planners to prepare students for success in the Greater Milwaukee infrastructure job market. The goal of the program is to provide internship opportunities for students and employers leading to a professional relationship upon graduation. RISE is sponsored by the Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District (MMSD) and conceived, developed and managed by Prism Technical Management & Marketing Services (Prism).

At the end of each summer, MMSD and Prism honor the students and companies who have demonstrated commitment to excellence through participation in the RISE program.
