Independence Community College launches a new internship program for students.

 

At last night's Board of Trustees meeting, Senior Internship Program Developer Whitney Lanning explained the program for trustees. The program is funded through an Enabling Partnerships to Increase Innovation Capacity or EPIIC grant through the National Science Foundation. Lanning says interested students must meet several requirements for the program.

 

Lanning says another part of the program is to build relationships in the community.

 

The program launched in March and has already received several applications from students. The college hopes to use the internship program to help students explore actual work environments and to develop business contacts in their chosen fields of study.
