Westborough, Mass. – The Healey-Driscoll Administration announced Wednesday applications are now being accepted for TechGeneration, a curated summer experience for students interning in the Boston-based tech sector who want to get more out of their summer, organized by the Massachusetts Technology Collaborative (MassTech).
TechGeneration combines affordable housing in Boston with immersive access to the region’s innovation ecosystem for tech interns. Partnering with Harvard University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Northeastern University and Boston University, MassTech will provide a weekly program centered on career development and industry exposure that helps interns build connections and launch their careers in Massachusetts.
“Massachusetts’ greatest competitive advantage is our unmatched talent,” said Economic Development Secretary Eric Paley. “TechGeneration gives students direct access to that ecosystem — connecting them with the people, ideas, and opportunities that make this state a global hub for innovation, and showing them why building a career here is unlike anywhere else.”
More than just subsidized housing, TechGeneration is a new initiative from the Healey-Driscoll Administration geared to removing the stress and reducing the cost of finding a place to live during an internship while gaining a built-in community of peers, friends and future collaborators.
“TechGeneration gives you a front-row seat to what it’s like to live and build your career in Massachusetts,” said MassTech Deputy Director and Innovation Institute Director Pat Larkin. "It provides a unique opportunity for interns to connect with Boston's standout innovation companies and tech leaders as they plot their futures."
The 12-week program – which runs May 25 through Aug. 14, 2026 – includes everything from career-building workshops and leadership sessions to hands-on experiences in AI, entrepreneurship, climate innovation, and more.
