Utilizing Internships - Topic for March 23, 2010

Are you a Finance Department of 1 wishing for additional staff to assist with the seemingly never-ending responsibilities of nfp finance? Or are you part of a Finance Department staff that still has trouble meeting deadlines because of excessive workload? If either of those scenarios look familiar to you, then make plans to join us Tuesday, March 23, 2010 when Allison Roba, Internship Program Coordinator at the John Cook School of Business will present information about internships and how nfp's can successfully attract skilled interns and run ongoing finance internship programs.
Some key areas Allison will cover are:
  • What students are looking for in an internship
  • Student capability levels 
  • Availability of graduate students for internship
  • Availability of undergraduate students for internship
  • What is expected of the on-site supervisor
  • How nfp's can compete with paid internships
  • Other ways to recruit interns
  • Benefits and drawbacks of hiring interns
Attendees also will receive tools and materials to help you kickstart your internship programs.
