Dr. Lane Boyte-Eckis of Troy University will highlight the steps and processes of successfully setting up an internship program within a college of business. The purpose of this webinar is to assist other institutions in implementing, further developing, and improving upon internship programs.
Internships are proven and effective ways for business students to gain practical, hands-on experience and improve job prospects upon graduation. In the past, internships were viewed as challenging for a non-traditional student. Research proves these opportunities can benefit all students in successfully transitioning from college to their career.
