As we start the summer of 2007, something for you to consider… If you have a business, or are starting one, allocate within your hiring budget to have (summer) intern(s), at least one or two.
Not only you will be helping a student become a professional and learn and understand about the “real world” through your mentoring and coaching and projects, but it also is a win-win situation, allowing you not only to help students, but also to identify talent, and bring back people you know are great. This also helps create mind-share about your business within the school…
Hire a student… Give back… Me, I am doing just that, planning for such within my budget…
