Marketing Internships at the New Bedford Museum of Glass (Summer 2012)


Marketing Internships at the New Bedford Museum of Glass (Summer 2012)


The New Bedford Glass Museum has three paid internships this summer.  This is the result of a Creative Economy grant that I co-wrote with Dr. Matt Roy this past spring.  Interested students should send their resumes to: LCoffin@nbmog.org

There is enough funding for 140 hours at $10.00 per hour.  This is a start-up situation in the nonprofit world.  You will be helping to establish some critical marketing functions and strategies to help grow the membership base and revenues of this museum.

This will qualify for internship credit which means you will be approved to take the summer internship course which is 100% online.  I can get you a waiver to enroll late into the class and I can extend due dates on assignments for you (the class started this week).  However, the course does carry the normal tuition of a summer course and the student will need to bear that cost.  You do not have to earn the credit to participate in this internship but if you land one of these and want to do the course, let me know and I'll make arrangements to get you into the course.
