Please spread the word that the Charlton College of Business is looking for high quality internship opportunities. We are looking to partner with more companies and nonprofits to offer as any internship-for-credit opportunities as possible. We are very interested in opportunities on the Southcoast and in RI during fall and spring semesters. However, there are no geographical limitations in the summer and in fact, many students are interested in internships outside of the Southcoast in the summer. Our internship course is 100% online so the internship provider's office doesn't need to be close to campus.
I have a newly revised book called Business Internships that is available via Lulu.com (http://www.lulu.com/product/paperback/business-internships/16453757?productTrackingContext=search_results/search_shelf/center/1). The book can help companies and nonprofits set up a program and help students become successful in an internship.
I use this blog, Twitter, and Facebook to promote internship opportunities to our students in majors such as accounting, finance, MIS, marketing, and HRM.
