Business Internships

Wall Street Journal Offer for Students

2012-02-15T09:55:00.000-08:00

Hi CCB majors (and any other students who are interested).

You can get the Wall Street Journal, delivered for $29.95 for 15 weeks, $49.95 for 26 weeks or $99.95 for 52 weeks. These are amazing savings off the newsstand price. For example, the 15 week price is a savings of $101.30 while the 52 week price is a savings of $355!

You can also add Barons for $16.00 for 15 weeks. The benefits of reading the WSJ are truly great! I have been reading the journal since before I graduated from college. Did you know that students who subscribe are 76% more likely to earn a GPA of 3.5 or higher, 46% more likely to be prepared for job interviews, and 140% more likely to be starting a full-time job upon graduation.

Years ago when i was studying for professional exams such as the CMA, ChFC, and CFM, and when I took the series 7 and 63 exams (registered representatives - investments), I found that the knowledge I picked up from the WJS was invaluable.

If you would like to take advantage of these special rates, email me (mgriffin@umassd.edu) the following information:

Student name:

Delivery address:

City:
State:
Zip:
Email (required)
Phone number
Major
Graduation Month/Year
And specify if you are undergrad or grad

For students doing or thinking of doing an internship, the WSJ is a great habit as it will give you an exposure to current events and real world stuff that you might have trouble getting elsewhere. The WSJ will help you in job interviews and conversations with the boss and co-workers. It will give you a background to draw upon in class and certainly will provide you with lots of ideas for investing whether you are playing a stock market simulation game as part of a class, participating in an investment club, or getting ready to invest those big bucks you are going yo make on the job.

Expanding the Opportunities for CCB Students

2012-02-08T09:03:00.000-08:00

Please spread the word that the Charlton College of Business is looking for high quality internship opportunities. We are looking to partner with more companies and nonprofits to offer as any internship-for-credit opportunities as possible. We are very interested in opportunities on the Southcoast and in RI during fall and spring semesters. However, there are no geographical limitations in the summer and in fact, many students are interested in internships outside of the Southcoast in the summer. Our internship course is 100% online so the internship provider's office doesn't need to be close to campus.

I have a newly revised book called Business Internships that is available via Lulu.com (http://www.lulu.com/product/paperback/business-internships/16453757?productTrackingContext=search_results/search_shelf/center/1). The book can help companies and nonprofits set up a program and help students become successful in an internship.

I use this blog, Twitter, and Facebook to promote internship opportunities to our students in majors such as accounting, finance, MIS, marketing, and HRM.

Contact: Mike Griffin mgriffin@umassd.edu for more information or call 508.910.6947.

Interesting Local Internship for a Marketing or Creative MIS Student with Photography Skills

2012-01-25T07:11:00.000-08:00

This is a very interesting local internship for a marketing student with photography skills or a very creative MIS student with photo skills.

IMTRA is a Marine Products company located in New Bedford. They are in the final days of launching an updated version of their company website. There are a number of “clean-up” issues that they need to do to complete the site. One of them is to create images for nearly 1000 products. They have a small photo tent and a camera, and just don’t have staff that can devote the time to take most of the pictures. An intern could assist with the photography and the data entry related to getting these images up on the site.

The intern would also participate in weekly website meetings to discuss all aspects of the site. The intern will see how that process works and to be engaged in that process as it often leads to other small tasks this person could do and learn about.

The web site uses a platform that is built on industry standard applications. The database behind the site is a Microsoft SQL database and the company uses common web-editing tools to modify the look and feel of the content on the site.

Interested candidates should respond as soon as possible with an email and a resume to:
