You’ve heard the benefits of hosting an intern (building tomorrow’s workforce, infusing new energy in your organization, increasing student affinity for your company, etc.), but still aren’t sure where to start?

At the Chamber, we’re committed to connecting students with the business community through this site. And we’re committed to starting you, as an employer, off on the right foot – that’s why we’re hosting a training session with a panel of experts. Here’s the info:

When: Monday, May 5 – from 3 pm to 4:30 pm

Where: Columbus State Community College’s Center for Workforce Development

Who: Businesses who have never hosted an intern or are looking to increase the effectiveness of their current program

What: A panel discussion with representatives from the higher-education and business communities and a demonstration of the rest of this site. Those who attend the session will also have the opportunity to upload their internship opportunity on-site.

How to register: Visit www.columbus.org and click on “How to Host an Intern” in the sidebar.

Have questions before May 5? Post them in the comments section below. We’ll make sure they are answered during the panel discussion or as a follow-up post on this blog.
