It is important to strategically communicate the internship program to those who would be a good fit for the business. You can utilize existing networks or build relationships with new partners.
There are many formats to communicate information about the internship program. A flyer or newsletter blurb, a page on the website, a social media post, and a career fair or conference (in person or virtual) are all great avenues to communicate and promote an internship program. Fleet Feet recruitment cards are also a great option.
Make sure to include the following information in publicity efforts:
Brief overview of the business, organization, or agency
