• Abstract: In the rapidly expanding field of quantum computing, one key aspect to maintain ongoing progress is ensuring that early career scientists interested in the field get appropriate guidance and opportunity to advance their work, and in return that institutions and enterprises with a stake in quantum computing have access to a qualified pool of talent. Internship programs at the graduate level are the perfect vehicle to achieve this. In this paper, we review the trajectory of the USRA Feynman Quantum Academy Internship Program over the last 8 years, placing it in the context of the current push to prepare the quantum workforce of the future, and highlighting the caliber of the work it produced.
