Innovative Internships!

Just in time for tomorrow's Tech Jam in Burlington, we now have FIVE innovative internships! From app development to web design, check out our newest listings with five great Vermont Companies throughout the state!

Some of these great opportunities can be done from the comfort of your dorm room or apartment, and most have the opportunity to work directly at the employers office. Think you have what it takes to be a technical/IT/web designing intern? Figure out which opportunity you would like to apply for and send your resume, cover letter and completed student questionnaire to beckyc@vbsr.org.

Get Networking!


Are you new to networking? Many students and recent graduates are intimidated by the idea of networking, and can become overwhelmed when they walk into a big event full of potential employers. It might seem tempting to grab a group of friends and walk around together, but it is a better idea to go solo or go with just one friend or peer. Going solo can help you gain the courage to talk with people you don't know and can show employers that you are independent and can be taken seriously. Going with just one friend, rather than a group, can help you escape that initial awkwardness of not knowing anyone and it is easy to break off and explore your own interests and then regroup together.

A fun and easy event to attend and try your hand at networking is the Vermont Tech Jam  Bring a friend to this one if you want, it is right on Church Street in Burlington and is a great way to spend this Friday or Saturday. Tech companies from all over Vermont will be there exhibiting, and it's a chance to see what is going on and meet different companies..all for free!


Here are the details:
When? Friday, October 28th from 10am to 5pm
           Saturday, October 29th from 10am to 3pm
Where? The Borders Building, 29 Church St, Burlington, VT
