Professional Internship Program and Tech Company Exelaration Expanding to Raleigh Area

Raleigh, North Carolina Feb 9, 2022 (Issuewire.com) – Exelaration, a Virginia-based software development company, announces its expansion into the Raleigh area. Ranked #2 for technology internships in the U.S., Exelaration connects early career developers of diverse backgrounds to the technology workforce through the new Exelaration Center (XC) based on the NC State campus. This expansion allows the Research Triangle area’s untapped pools of undergraduate technologists to fulfill business’ critical software needs.

“We’ve found a way to tap the tremendous potential of the future tech workforce and match it up with the immense demand for high-quality technology solutions,” says Steve Cooper, CEO of Exelaration. “We’ve spent the last twelve years perfecting this model at Virginia Tech, and our calling is to build an Exelaration Center wherever there is engineering talent in need of mentoring.”

Since 2009, Exelaration has launched the tech careers of more than 120 professionals through expert mentoring and experiential learning via real client projects. Exelaration’s campus-based model harnesses the experience of full-time expert engineers coupled with the value of talented undergraduate developers. Their teams deliver software solutions for clients such as startups, Fortune 500 companies, federal agencies, non-profits, and associations.

Exelaration has long planned to expand their program beyond their flagship center in Blacksburg, citing NC State’s exceptional reputation for engineering as the basis for their decision for the new location.  “We couldn’t wait to open our NC State Exelaration Center! As the only world-class software engineering firm that’s fueled by students, we love how Raleigh and NC State have given us such a warm welcome,” says Cooper.

In addition to NC State’s undergraduate students, Exelaration mentors student engineers from Virginia Tech, Radford University, and the University of Cincinnati.
