This summer, interns from across the Southeast have come to Birmingham to learn about professional opportunities in Alabama through the FuelAL Fellowship, an inaugural program of the Economic Development Partnership of Alabama.

FuelAL aims to improve retention of Alabama’s brightest minds post-graduation. In its first year, the program was open to students participating in a summer internship or co-op program and provides training, experiences, and exposure to professional opportunities and life beyond the 9-5 throughout the state.

We caught up with four Fellows in the cohort to find out how why they now love Alabama—click here to read the full story.
