WHO?
Any Northeast Ohio employer interested in starting an internship program or improving an existing internship program.

We especially encourage small business owners and entrepreneurs to attend—if you don't have an HR staff, this can be the fastest, easiest way to develop an internship program based on best practices specifically designed for Northeast Ohio employers.

This is a workshop, with the emphasis on work. At the end of the four hour session, participants will have created an Internship Program Plan that specifically meets their business' needs and is ready to implement.
