YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Making It Work is a live, interactive online series that brings together business leaders who are finding new ways to retain and generate revenue.

Internships provide a vital way for students to get hands-on experience in a career field; for many businesses, they provide a pipeline for new hires. How can your business participate? How do you set up an intern program? Do you have to offer pay?

Two programs are expanding to help businesses recruit and host interns. Maine Career Compass has matched 2,000 students with 80 employers and continues to grow, despite pandemic restrictions, and the University of Southern Maine is expanding internship opportunities under its Career and Employment Hub.

Moderator Carol Coultas, business projects editor was joined by Jeanne Paquette, USM’s vice president of Corporate and Workforce Engagement and former Maine labor commissioner, and Lillian Lema, a USM graduate who interned with Hannaford’s communication department and now works as a news editor at WGME and Kaylyn O’Brien, strategic talent programs and partnerships manager at WEX.
