Internships

Providing internship opportunities within your organization has many benefits such as:

• Recruitment opportunities – student interns who have had a positive experience at your company are more likely to return after graduation.
• Leadership skills – mentoring a student intern is a great way for existing employees to gain leadership skills.
• Increased productivity – special project work performed by interns can free up valuable time for existing employees to allocate toward other projects.

The following tools are available to assist you in posting an internship opportunity.
