What advice do you have for a company that is looking to start a "School to Work" program? 


The company must be committed to providing a stimulating environment for student interns and assuring that the jobs are challenging and actually contribute to the company's needs. 




What are some qualities you look for in an intern? 


Intelligence, motivation, and interest. 




What kind of educational background do you expect an intern to have prior to obtaining an internship? 


We do not discriminate on the basis of prior educational training. What we are looking for are young people who can respond to a challenge and have a desire to learn. 




Why do you think it's important to offer internships to students? 


Opportunity and options are what is needed in our society for young people to develop to their full potential. All companies and, in fact, our entire society benefits. We have seen many, many successful results where some of our interns have become highly respected leaders in their fields.
