InternNashville
The Nashville Area Chamber is focusing on internships to engage our local college students, connect them to the business community and retain them after they graduate. Business leaders have joined together with Nashville-area college and university representatives to achieve a common goal: a better educated, better prepared workforce.
How would an internship program benefit my company or organization?
Interns can complete project work and increase your organization's productivity.
Begin training your organization's future workforce.
Streamline your recruitment process and fill your talent pipeline.
Internship programs are cost-effective.
The presence of interns provides an opportunity for mid-level staff to learn to manage, since they are typically responsible for day-to-day direction of interns.
Interns can bring the newest technology from the classroom into your organization.
Interns can be another source for the recruitment of diverse employees into your company.

Renee Bradford, Nashville human resources site leader with Dell, Inc., said, "The intern program is another tool for employers to use in what will continue to be an increasingly competitive environment for attracting talent. I see people as the ultimate competitive advantage, and the intern program allows us to better understand how to leverage and retain the next generation of leaders."
InternNashville products will be available throughout 2008 and will include:
