Description About the Initiative Within the Innovation Institute at MassTech, we design and advance strategic initiatives that strengthen Massachusetts' technology and innovation economy. We are currently seeking a dynamic professional to support our newest state offering: TechGeneration Residential Internship Program. Conceived as a high-impact, community-based residential internship experience, TechGeneration will bring together 100 top-tier collegiate students participating in technology internships across Greater Boston. The program combines subsidized shared housing with a curated, 12-week schedule of cross-disciplinary programming, industry exposure, and cohort-building experiences. By immersing interns in both the professional and social fabric of the Commonwealth's innovation ecosystem, the program is designed to strengthen peer networks, deepen regional ties, and position Massachusetts as the premier location for students to launch and grow their tech careers. The Candidate & The Opportunity We are seeking a highly responsible and diligent professional who takes true ownership of a project—someone dedicated to ensuring that absolutely every logistical and programmatic element is executed flawlessly. In return, this role offers a unique, high-visibility platform for the Coordinator to apply real creativity in the design and execution of a flagship state initiative. You will work in a high-energy, youthful environment, directly helping young professionals chart the initial phases of their careers. Furthermore, this position provides unparalleled exposure, allowing the Coordinator to build their own robust professional network by engaging directly with top-tier industry executives and academic leaders across the Commonwealth.

Manage and oversee the TechGeneration Community Hub (collaborative app/portal).

Quality Control & Partner Liaison (University Events): Our four university partners will take the lead on designing and managing the on-campus logistics for their eight core program modules. For these events, you will act as the primary TechGeneration representative on-site.
