One of the advantages of our 5 College area is access to interns! For students, interning defines career paths and builds resumes. For creative businesses and non-profit organizations, interns bring fresh ideas, energy and a willingness to learn.

In the Interns for Artists, Arts-Based Businesses, and Non-Profits Information session, potential internship providers will learn how to become an internship provider, labor law compliance, and best practices for making the most of your intern's time.
