Internships: Flexible Hiring for Growing Teams

"Every hire matters. Growing businesses need flexibility—to get help now and grow thoughtfully."

Businesses often need help before they’re ready to hire.

Today, we’re excited to officially introduce the 925plan Internship Program—a new way for growing teams to get work done without the cost, commitment, or risk of traditional hiring.

This program is designed for companies that are building, launching, and innovating every day—where the work is urgent, but the need isn’t always full-time or permanent. Instead of filling roles, the 925plan Internship Program focuses on advancing the business through vetted, coached interns who are ready to contribute from day one.

We’re proud to share that our first client is Kent Hospitality Group, a New York–based hospitality platform behind some of the city’s most acclaimed restaurants and venues.

With a portfolio that includes award-winning and Michelin-recognized concepts such as Saga, Crown Shy, and Overstory, Kent HG sits at the intersection of culinary excellence, design, and brand storytelling—making them an ideal launch partner for this program.

To learn more about our 925 Intern’s experience at Kent, check out Olivia’s newsletter, where she shares a behind-the-scenes look at her work and the impact of the internship firsthand.
