if any, training? "Dream on," you say? How can you make this happen? Skilled and professional interns from UM-Flint’s School of Management are the solution you are seeking. A combination of practical experience and academics creates highly capable, highly motivated college graduates having a shorter learning curve.

Hiring an intern can provide your company with a low-cost, professional employee and allow you to have a hand in preparing tomorrow’s workforce. UM-Flint’s Business Internship Program can put your company in touch with the highest quality interns who may turn into new hires needing very little training.

A common misconception among potential internship employers is that it takes too much time to train and monitor an intern. UM-Flint assures you that this is untrue. In fact, research has shown that by “applying six hours/week to manage three interns who each work 20 hours/week, the ROI of that supervision time is ten-fold.” (The Internship Institute)
