INTERNSHIPS
Provide an internship. Interns can be a dynamic and profitable addition to your organization. Not only are most interns highly motivated and quick learners; they can also breathe new life into a company in the form of fresh ideas and familiarity with the latest business trends. The key to a successful internship is to provide a challenging and productive work assignment for the intern. Please contact Christine Daly, Schoolof Business Senior Career Counselor, at (845) 257-2381 or dalyc@newpaltz.edu for more information.
