The Greater Des Moines Partnership has launched a new internship toolkit called Internships 101. The free online guide provides employers with tools to successfully implement an internship program within their organizations. The toolkit walks companies through key areas of implementation, beginning with establishing a plan, recruiting and hiring, and management tips. Also included are resources such as a sample job description, local college and university contacts, sample interview questions and legal considerations. Mary Bontrager, the Partnership’s executive vice president of workforce development and education, said: “We know this will be a valuable guide for businesses of all sizes, as internships are now a key component to effective talent recruitment strategies.”
