Employers
Thank you for embracing the Gwinnett Tech mission of workforce development. Working with Gwinnett Tech to develop internships through our Launch Pointe program will help your company build upon its success. Most companies who participate grow their internship program year after year and have found that having an internship program is a significant cost savings when it comes time to hire full-time employees. You will have a pipeline of students already exposed to your corporate culture and how your business operates. You will have a pipeline of students already exposed to how your business operates who can be considered for employment opportunities. This allows for a seamless flow of onboarding and professional development, which typically leads to employee loyalty and efficiency of work product. For your internship to be successful, we ask that you provide a challenging and substantive environment that is related to the students program of study with a direct point of contact who will supervise and evaluate the student. The College works with all sizes of employers, from Fortune 1000 companies, to international or national conglomerates to non-profits, local businesses and smaller family-run businesses.
Some internships are for academic credit where part of the employer evaluation accounts for a portion of the students’ overall grade. Non-academically evaluated internships are taken very seriously and students who are selected to participate in the internship have to go through a competitive process.
To post an internship, create a free account and add a job posting in our Career Link Employers Portal and a member of our team will be in touch with you.
