INTERNS
Did you know that internships aren’t just for students anymore?
Did you know over 50% of full-time jobs are found through internships?
Who You Are
“Modern Interns,” as we like to call them, can be anyone of any age, of any educational and work background (from none to CEO), looking to gain work experience and skills to grow professionally, to find a job, and ultimately to build a fulfilling career.
That includes:
- Current interns or those seeking internships
- Job searchers looking to intern their way into their next full-time job
- High school, college, graduate school and trade school students
- Those unable to attend or afford college and need on-the-job training
- Recent graduates having trouble finding a job or advancing beyond entry-level positions
- Twenty, thirty, and forty-somethings living with parents or roommates, unable to work and live independently, due to financial or other constraints
- Unemployed professionals, even managers and high-level executives
- The underemployed,working at jobs below your ability, responsibility, and pay level
- Career changers, changing jobs, fields, or industries
- Stay-at-home Moms and Dads returning to the workforce
- Seniors coming out of retirement for financial reasons or just to keep busy and learn something new
- Those wanting to start a business, but wanting experience first
- Those with a troubled past needing a fresh start into a better life
- Those working minimum wage jobs wanting to climb the ladder from mail room to manager and beyond
Again, anyone can utilize internships as vital stepping stones from where you are to where you want to be.
