We’ve all heard it a thousand times… and it’s true. The job market is tough and the competition keeps getting tougher! But what if you already had an edge over your peers because you chose to spend a small portion of your summer working with a company who believed in you?
This summer, 46 businesses will partner with Youth Entrepreneurs (YE) to provide unique on-the-job learning experiences for nearly 150 alumni of the YE program. Similar to an internship, summer partnerships provide opportunities to gain insight into various industries and network with leadership of partnering companies. How many of your friends can say that they have had the opportunity to eat lunch with top executives from companies such as Freddy’s, Westar, GM, or Google?
Whether you’re a looking to build your resume’ or still exploring your career options, this is the perfect opportunity to get ahead of the game. Maybe you’ll meet your long term mentor. Maybe you’ll be offered a job. And, maybe you’ll decide that a career in marketing or finance isn’t really what you thought it was. The choices you make today will either put you one step closer or further away from your goals. Apply for a YE Summer Partnership before it’s too late; Deadline is this Monday, April 16th at 5:00 pm.
"By participating in a summer partnership I was able to broaden my horizons about different careers and gain experience in a corporate business environment."
