About Summer in the City
Summer in the City presented by Owens Corning is a unique experience for summer interns and co-ops to network and explore the Toledo Region. The program, created and hosted by the Toledo Regional Chamber of Commerce, started in 2015 as a way to help interns build networks and show them what life would be like if they called Toledo their hometown.
The program is targeted at college junior, senior or graduate student interns who are working at a variety of businesses and organizations in Toledo for the summer.
Since 2015, the Summer in the City program has hosted nearly 1,900 interns and co-ops from over 200 cities, 26 states, and 8 countries representing more than 130 colleges and universities.
These interns and co-ops have represented over nearly 100 companies in the Toledo Region.
The program runs during June and July and offers interns the opportunity to experience both the quality of life and the professional side of the Toledo Region. Social events are geared towards fun and networking, while the skills series is aimed at developing the interns into young professionals.
