internships?

[CSR_Admin]

Does anybody here have a company that hires interns in the summer? I am wanting to hire an intern this year to do some web marketing and IT projects we have. Where do I go to get in the pool of companies willing to hire an intern? Do I have to have a formal program set up or do they just come work here for the summer accomplishing mutual goals? Please fill me in.

I would suggest you contact some local area colleges either the IT departments or the business departments. At any rate I believe a good reputable college would be more then willing to assist you with a student intern who is about to graduate.:thumbsup:

We get interns, or co-op students from the local colleges. We work with the Career Development Offices. You give them a brief description of what you need done, they match you up with the right majors. It works out pretty well for both.

We hire interns every summer. We go to the colleges and look for talent and offer them summer jobs. When we weed through good prospects we make an offer during their senior year to come work full time.

Here is a pic I took a few hrs ago of My son Chris. He is in a specialized High school program for IT. He just received First place in Web design from Business Professionals of America. He worked last Summer for the American Fan corp. and designed a web site for them cataloging thousands of parts etc. Could this be done off-site or do you need someone In-house?

We had very little success with interns, but quite good results with co-op students from colleges.

Our business was a small engineering and general management consulting firm. Minimum qualification for staff was a masters from a recognized engineering school. These guys were way over qualified for number crunching, data collection, etc. and at our billing rate, we preferred to have the staff on the clock working for clients instead of doing grunt work. With interns we found that it took almost as much time to supervise them and keep then focused as it did if we just did the work ourselves.

Co-op students were another story. Most were in engineering programs at nearby universities and already had some in the field experience. They did make an excellent contribution. The down side is the good ones cost us almost as much as a new graduate would.

With today's economy and unemployment rate, you might also consider getting an experienced IT guy to do a little moon lighting for you to pick up a little extra $.

I’m seeking an intern that is looking for a professional carrier in boat detailing / waxing.

I’ll let them detail my boat this spring and wash it every Thursday all summer, just in time for the weekend.

In return I am willing to fill out a single paged multiple choice review form so they can get their class credits.

Please apply soon; spring is just around the corner.

What Frank said. (again) When I was consulting at J&J, the consultants and interns shared a huge room of desks. I don't know what they interns accomplished, but it sure did look like fun! Eventually, September came around and we consultants were able to get back to a quiet work place and the interns were able to get back to their parties, I mean classes.

I hired a co-op engineering student from Northeastern University. That worked out great. When he graduated we offered him a full time position, which he took. He is now an executive at one of north Americas largest vehicle rental companies. One of those rare cases when you can be happy to say you had something to do with it.

I work for a global company who offers internships. These are marketing and technical management majors that work on various projects in a defined goal and skill development program. Inters apply from the many colleges and technical schools in our area. Interns must have 2 language skills to apply. Our company is registered with the colleges. If an intern must travel only the travel expense and meals are provided.

Once an intern completes their assigned tasks and graduates they can apply for our young professionals program. Once hired, they enter into a program that “fast tracks” them into the field of their business major. Many travel overseas and spend 3-6 months in our manufacturing plants learning the technical part of the equipment they will support.

Not a bad gig for a twenty something just out of college.
