More than eighty people packed the Intern Open House presented by Geauga Growth Partnership (GGP) last Tuesday evening to learn about the internship positions available for the 2015 Summer Internship Program.
Twenty-two of the thirty business sponsors presented a short overview of their company and details about their internship positions. There are 43 positions available to date and GGP is looking for additional business sponsors to host interns in the fields of veterinary services, auto repair, manufacturing, engineering, healthcare, welding, tooling and machining.
High quality work experiences are being offered through internship positions that include Research, Marketing, Administration, Electronics, Landscape and Lab Technician positions, Graphic Design, Events Assistant, Field Intern, Garage/ Truck Maintenance, Journalism and many more. Sponsors will interview students interested in their positons at their places of business.
Many sponsors are veterans of the GGP Internship Program. From specialized companies like Gardner Competition Engines and Aerospace Maintenance Solutions, to leaders like Exscape Designs, Sheoga Hardwood Flooring & Paneling and Hexpol/Gold Key, the audience learned about some of the high caliber companies that call Geauga County home.
All Geauga County resident high school juniors and seniors are invited to apply, whether they attend public or private school or are home-schooled. The program is available to current Geauga County junior and senior high school students with at least a 2.0 GPA in their core courses.
Students must submit a completed application to GGP offices no later than 5 p.m. on February 13, 2015.
Applications are available from Geauga County high school guidance counselors and or online at www.geaugagrowthpartnership.com. The GGP offices are located at 12373 Kinsman Road, Newbury, Ohio 44065.
