Partnership Gwinnett’s intern mix highlights Next Generation workforce

GWINNETT COUNTY, GA –More than 50 college interns convened this week at the Partnership Gwinnett Intern Mix to build professional connections and explore career opportunities in one of metro Atlanta’s most dynamic communities. 

Sponsored by Primerica and PBK Architects, the annual event showcased Gwinnett’s commitment to cultivating its future workforce through strategic talent development.

This year’s Intern Mix brought together students from a range of industries for a high-energy evening of networking, employer recognition, and career-focused conversations. The event served as a critical touchpoint in Partnership Gwinnett’s broader workforce strategy, aiming to retain emerging talent and bolster the region’s economic vitality.

“Strong relationships drive business success ­— and events like Intern Mix lay the foundation for developing strategic relationships,” said Kevin Carmichael, SVP of Partnership Gwinnett. “We’re committed to growing jobs and investments, and that begins with connecting tomorrow’s leaders with the opportunities and peers who will help shape their future.”

Through engaging icebreakers, industry insights, and cross-sector peer interaction, interns saw firsthand how Gwinnett fosters career growth and civic belonging. The event aligned with Partnership Gwinnett’s larger talent initiatives – including the Talent Council, Workforce Forum, and the upcoming Workforce Summit – which collectively work to bridge the gap between employer needs and local talent development.

As Gwinnett’s target sectors in advanced manufacturing, IT solutions, health sciences and services, supply chain management, and professional services all continue to expand, Partnership Gwinnett remains focused on ensuring that emerging talent has access to real opportunities and a compelling reason to build their futures here.
