Step-Up Omaha! Summer Program 2026

STEP-UP OMAHA! collaborates with employers and organizations from a wide range of industries across the Omaha metropolitan area to strengthen and expand the future workforce pipeline. We connect businesses with prepared, motivated young adults who are ready to contribute, learn, and grow through mutually beneficial and diverse work experiences that create value for both the intern and the employer.

Our young adults are placed in a variety of roles—from administrative positions in banks, government agencies, and corporate offices to hands-on opportunities in groundskeeping, urban gardening, construction, and event planning. Each placement is intentionally designed to build transferable skills, increase exposure to career pathways, and support long-term workforce development across our community.

Interns begin with two weeks of structured employment and career readiness training before transitioning into their assigned worksites. Returning interns (ages 16+) may report to their worksites earlier and begin work at the start of the program, while new interns will transition to their worksites after completing the initial two-week training period.

By partnering with Step-Up Omaha, you’re not just filling a short-term need—you’re building a reliable talent pipeline, strengthening your workforce, and positioning your organization for long-term success.

Partner with Step-Up Omaha and discover the impact of bringing in driven, prepared young talent who can contribute to your team, support your day-to-day operations, and grow into a long-term asset within your organization.

Beyond Summer: Year-Round Impact

Step-Up Omaha extends beyond the summer. Our year-round programming keeps young adults engaged in workforce development, career exposure, and leadership growth.

Participants continue building skills, gaining industry awareness, and preparing for long-term career success through structured programming and guided development opportunities.

This creates an ongoing connection between employers, community partners, and emerging talent—strengthening the workforce pipeline beyond a single season. Year-round programming is focused on continued development and exposure, not part-time employment.
