InternQC, an initiative of Young Professionals of the Quad Cities is designed to help young talent build valuable friendships and connections, provide access to professional development resources and make a lasting impression so that the Quad Cities is top of mind for young professionals come graduation time. New this year, YPQC is enlisting Peer Mentors to assist the Interns with navigating through the program, growing their network, and be an unofficial tour guide to the Quad Cities.
