Action Steps to Create & Sustain Internships

---

Interns are a source of talent for the short-term, and a cost-effective way to recruit and evaluate potential employees.  Students who have completed a successful internship experience with you are great ambassadors for your organization.  There are many positive reasons to host internship(s), yet they do require some planning and commitment on your part.
 
Session participants will gain an understanding of how to construct a sustainable internship program, including action steps to determine needs, recruit qualified interns, as well as hear from students about what they desire in a work environment.
