Despite bad weather threats, over 50 people attended, representing the region’s employers and high school & college educators. Speakers shared their internship experiences, gave tips on developing an internship program, and spoke about generational issues and internships.
“We are very excited to see new employers and educators joining the effort to train and retain our region’s best and brightest students. We anticipate possibly making this workshop a bi-annual event as we work to impact the economic future of Northeast Indiana,” said Kay Anthony, program manager of Graduate Retention.
Joyce Spahr, Human Resources at Ottenweller Company, showed employers how to start an internship program for college students. 
Employers and educators listen intently to ideas and tips on working with interns of the Millennial generation.

I just wanted to compliment the Graduate Retention staff (Kay, Tanya, Aimee, Rita, Marlene and Heather) for putting on a great event for employers today. Compliments also are in order to our college and high school partners and employer presenters for the open sharing of best practices. It was great to see the interaction between the attendees and presenters. Heather Neilson, assistant for the workforce development division did a FABULOUS job of coordinating and delivering this event even under threatnening weather conditions. Thank you Heather. Outstanding effort to all involved.
