Wanted: Employers Interested in a “Test-Run” with Interns

So, maybe you’ve never had an intern at you organization? You’re not sure what they would do. Do you have enough project work? What about space and a computer? How do I find the best interns? Let’s face it: you’re scared it’s glorified babysitting. Well, we have the perfect solution for you: Indiana’s Employers Guide to Internships.

And here’s the perfect opportunity for a test run with anintern. DePauw’s Winter Term program  is the perfect opportunity for both students and employers to engage in a short internship. From January 3 to January 25, 2013, you have the chance to host an intern. Sound too good to be true? It just might be. I may be biased as a DePauw student myself, but DePauw has some excellent, driven students that fight tooth and nail for internships. Really, I’ve had to claw my way into my own internship—DePauw students really do jump at the chance to take a hiatus from Greencastle and gain real-world, career-oriented experience. So why not give them a chance?

It’s simple: Fill out the Winter Term 2013 Internship Position Description form here: http://bit.ly/MVRP2B/. Submit internship postings by August so students have time to contact your organization and begin a formal inquiry for the posted position prior to their deadline of October 5^th. Contact Stephanie Hogue via phone or email (stephaniehogue@depauw.edu, 765-658-6004) with any questions or concerns.

Any college student would be grateful for an internship experience. And as an employer, you may be surprised with the benefits you gain from hosting an intern.
