Summer seems so very far away, especially as we are spending our days shoveling snow. It will be here sooner than we can imagine, though!

Among our favorite things at the Chamber (and we have a lot of favorite things) is welcoming our intern back for the summer.

While we may think we have plenty of time, college students are currently securing their summer internships. Now is the time to consider if you can pay an intern or if you want to explore funding opportunities.

It is also when you should be considering what work or projects are suited for a college student and how many hours a week will be ideal for an extra employee.

We are often asked how to find an intern and are happy to share some of the ways we’ve met students in the past. We also have students reach out to us asking if we know of any openings. Let us know if we can be helpful to you in planning for an intern this year!

The Chamber utilizes the PA CareerLink Internship Program to assist in funding our Summer intern. Registration for this program is open now.

Students must be between the ages of 16-24 and will be served on a first-come, first-serve basis as funding is limited. Interested employers can reach out to Kim Geib at (814) 580-6002 or kim.geib@nwpacareerlink.org
