Grow your own workforce with internships
 Internships are a proven way to grow a highly skilled workforce. To help secure a qualified pool of interns for manufacturers in Northeast Ohio, MAGNET has partnered with the Northeast Ohio Council on Higher Education (NOCHE) to encourage college students to pursue manufacturing careers through internship experiences.
MAGNET and NOCHE are seeking manufacturers to develop and offer quality internships for students in two and four year programs in all areas of expertise—engineering, welding, machining, finance, sales, etc..
If you create a meaningful internship, you can expose your company and the many challenging career opportunities you have available to thousands of students attending colleges in Northeast Ohio.
To register your internships, go to www.neointern.net. This is a free service and you will be provided with a pre-screened applicant book to fill your positions as well as direct assistance from staff at NOCHE.

 If you need assistance to start an internship program, download a copy of MAGNET’s Internship Guide for Employers (PDF, 330k). This seven-page, four-color manual includes handy worksheets for creating job descriptions, mid-term evaluations and end-of-year evaluations.
We look forward to working with you to create a world class manufacturing workforce in Northeast Ohio.
