Background: We will be introducing the Community Internship Fair (CIF) - the first of its kind for a project related program. The fair designed to recruit interested individuals from the ages of 18 and up to experience a networking meeting to find out about year-round internships, summer internships, work base learning internships and mentorship opportunities.

Purpose: This is to help participants who are interested in obtaining new job skills, upgrade their current skills to seek opportunities for advancement or for those first timers entering into the employment field while matriculating or after attaining a degree or specialized training/certification. Participants are not required to have a college degree and our program will meet individuals where they are in their quest for employment opportunities. We invite high school students, those from Community Colleges, Training Programs, special program participants and agencies who work with those who are coming through a family status or life style change, individuals who may be considered as refugees or working through a transitional period or who have been previously incarcerated.

Goal: The Community Internship Fair - is designed to connect candidates seeking an internship experience, employment (or desiring to find out more about the programs available) with employers, program sponsors or mentors seeking interns. By the end of Community Internship Fair experience, we will be able to identify interns interested in the programs and assign them with their potential internship assignment opportunities.
