Careers: Alternative to Student Internship?

[TiffanyM1]

Hello! 

I was absolutely delighted when I recently discovered an internship that seemed like a great fit and direct path into the profession of my dreams. Upon applying - I discovered that all internships at your headquarters require the applicant to be currently enrolled as a student. I received my masters degree in 2019 and am now looking to pivot into cultural engagement or DEI. I am curious if there are any other accelerated developmental programs that offer training for a highly motivated entry level applicant who is looking to begin a career at southwest? I

Thank you so much for any insight you can provide!
