2025 Impact Report

School Chapters give students a great first point of entry to INTERalliance programming. An advisor and Chapter President coordinate regular meetings and receive content packets from the INTERalliance Chapters team. They attend monthly chapter competitions to compete for prizes and compete in the Chapter Showcase at TechOlympics each February. In 2025, we had 33 active chapters across the region (a 65% increase) and celebrated Seven Hills School as our Chapter Showcase winner at TechOlympics.

The largest student-run IT conference in the country, TechOlympics is a fantastic two-day event, where students are inspired to learn about emerging technologies and connect with IT professionals from some of the largest employers across the region. Students do mock interviews, network with professionals during IT&U, and hear speakers from across the diverse IT landscape. In 2025, 290 students and over 200 professionals attended this event held at the P&G global headquarters.

WiIT is a day-long experience for girls in high school who may be interested in IT to learn from and network with women who are professionals in the field. From panel discussions and keynote speakers, to tabletop challenges with industry mentors, this is a powerful day of community building and impact. In October 2024, over 201 girls, 50 women professionals, and 32 educators attended the WIIT Conference held at Xavier University’s Cintas Center.

As a student-run organization, ILC is how INTERalliance lives out its mission. This group of highly engaged students run all aspects of this non-profit. Led by a C-suite and Directors, the ILC manages all IT, Data, Finance, Marketing, Programs and Chapters, and reports directly to the Executive Director. It is truly the best leadership experience that a student can receive. In 2025, ILC was composed of 36 students from high schools across Greater Cincinnati and Kentucky.

The culminating experience in a year at INTERalliance is an internship. These 10 week paid internships with some of the top employers in the region provide students with real world learning and a meaningful glimpse into what it means to be an IT professional. Our employer partners get early access to some of the brightest and best trained talent in the region. They also get meaningful work accomplished that is a true value add. In 2025, we facilitated 192 student interns (a 27% increase) with our 42 intern partners (a 55% increase) and served as the intermediary for $493,551.89 of reimbursement to Ohio employers as part of the High School Tech Reimbursement program.

Started in collaboration with P&G, the JumpStart is a powerful program to prepare students furthest from opportunity for the professional expectations of an internship. Through virtual sessions, these students learn from professionals about agile development, cybersecurity, and digital marketing, as well as building your personal brand and how to give a public presentation. In 2025, we expanded the size of our JumpStart program to 93 students (a 39% increase) by adding a cohort in collaboration with We Lead CS.

This region has a wealth of IT talent interning with local companies each summer. The IT Intern Summit brings those high school and college students together to network and learn from industry leaders. This day-long event is a highlight of the summer and a key piece is the retention of these students post-graduation. In 2025, over 227 interns and 65 volunteers attended this event held at Northern Kentucky University.
