| World
of Interns
An intern
is a student or recent graduate undergoing supervised practical
training. Here at The
International Center for Leadership and Coaching, we have taken
this definition to the max.
This summer there will be seven interns from around the globe
coming to Savannah to join the ICLC team.
The Center offers a wide variety of internship opportunities
including Training and Development, Project Management, Technology,
Website Development, Marketing and Advertising, Event Coordination,
Finances, Grant Writing and Research, Newsletter and Article Writing,
Sales, etc. Interning
will provide these students with the experience they need to be
prepared for and to obtain the career or job of their dreams. ICLC
hosts over 20 interns annually.
