    Internship programs can do more than fill short-term staffing needs, they can help manufacturers strengthen their talent pipelines and prepare the next generation of workers. This webinar will show how well-designed internships benefit both companies and students, creating a win-win for workforce development.

    Participants will learn how to:

    • Structure internships that add real value to your business
    • Attract and select top student candidates
    • Create onboarding and mentoring practices that set interns up for success
    • Track progress and ensure interns transition into future hires

    Whether you are starting from scratch or seeking to improve an existing program, this session will give you practical strategies to turn internships into a long-term talent advantage.
