In an effort
to help Mxcc business and marketing students gain real-world experience, build
skills, and enhance their job market potential, the college has launched a new
internship program with local businesses.
Currently internships are available with the Middlesex
County Chamber of Commerce, Merrill Lynch, Aflac Insurance, Suburban
Stationers, Verizon Wireless as well as with several local small businesses. New companies are being added on a regular
basis.
“We know internships provide a valuable learning and networking experience
for students, and they really serve as a first career move for many future professionals,”
said Patty Raymond, the Business
Division Chairperson at MxCC. “For
companies, internship programs are a highly effective way to benefit from
temporary or entry-level assistance, and even ‘test out’ future employees. We
are pleased that so many local businesses are taking part in this new
initiative with MxCC.”
Businesses
of all sizes are able to participate in the MxCC internship program to hire
interns for the fall or future semesters.
Interested businesses should contact Professor Patty Raymond at
860-343-5772 or Professor Benjamin Boutaugh at 860-343-5760 for more
information.
