The next generation of researchers are not only attempting to grasp their discipline and research areas, but also need to be well-versed in technology powered techniques for research and its dissemination - a shift referred to as eResearch. The iVEC summer internship program provides an intense research training program to help undergraduate students transition into postgraduate programs and innovative industry positions. Interns are supervised by leading researchers in areas including radio astronomy, nanochemistry and molecular dynamics. More than a summer research project, the program aims to give a comprehensive indoctrination into core and emerging techniques for research. This paper describes the evolution of the internship program, the goals and methods used and a reflection on the results we are observing
