Employers / Host Organizations
Employers all along the I-99 Innovation Corridor Region have benefited from the quality interns they have hosted as part of the I-99 Regional Internship Network. Below are quotes from local business leaders reflecting on their past interns and the quality of the program.
If your organization would like to participate in the program and host an intern, please contact Matthew Fox at the Altoona-Blair County Development Corporation for details and information (mattf@abcdcorp.org or 814-944-6113). Although students are required to find their own host organization we can assist in providing opportunities to the groups of students.

“Internships offer both a tangible benefit for our organization and the student alike. The I-99 Regional Internship Network is attracting young professionals to the Corridor, where we need them most.” - Ron McConnell, Chief Operating Officer | ![]() |
