Talent & Internship Summit
Date and time
Location
Dyn
150 Dow Street, Tower #2 Manchester, 03101Description
Keeping young talent in NH is of primary importance (as illustrated in this great report from the NH Center for Public Policy Studies, “From Tailwind to Headwind: New Hampshire's Shifting Economic Trends").
One way young people often find jobs is through internships.
OUR CHALLENGE: Currently, there is no interface for helping students find internships and no standard “rules” for how an internship should be conducted.
OUR SOLUTION: Develop a “Statement of Principles” incorporating best practices from both businesses and higher education for internships in NH, alleviating frustrations and dissatisfaction from all perspectives; the students, higher education institutions and NH businesses. Once developed, Stay Work Play will present these “principles” to companies and colleges/universities throughout NH to adopt a more collaborative and consistent approach to internships.
OUR GOAL: An increase in placement and quality of internships and more successful talent retention for NH.
EXCITING, RIGHT? We are asking you to participate in this discussion by being a part of Stay Work Play’s Talent & Internship Summit!
SUMMIT AGENDA INCLUDES:
- Thought-provoking panel discussions
- Breakout working sessions to brainstorm & develop the “Statement of Principles”
- Breakfast & Lunch included too!
