It's based on the Kauffman Foundation's Real World Initiative to provide "immersive experiences across a multitude of interests, industries, and employers through real-world projects and internships." Here's a video with more information from the Kansas Chamber of Commerce. I looked, but didn't find any neutral or third-party assessment of the program.
