CONNECTING EMPLOYERS TO LOCAL SCHOOLS
The Magnify Initiative is focused on developing a strong talent pipeline in our community by connecting local schools and local businesses.
This will provide businesses with talent and students with invaluable experiences. Being part of this initiative will provide you another opportunity to invest in your community and contribute to the creation of a pipeline of talent that will benefit our region.
INTERNSHIPS
An internship is a short-term, paid work experience. Internships have an emphasis on "on-the-job training" rather than merely employment. A key aspect of internships is to expose students to the industry. Internships help contribute to the development of a strong talent pipeline in a community.
If your company is offering a high school internship, please submit your internship for approval below. Contact Kaitlyn Tyler at ktyler@greaterspringfield.com with any additional questions.
