The Management Development Center at Fort Hays State University is seeking businesses interested in providing internship employment opportunities for College of Business and Entrepreneurship students at FHSU.

Thanks to a generous donation from the Dane G. Hansen Foundation and Peter and Pamela Werth, businesses can hire a student intern at a significantly reduced cost through the program. Students, who will be employees of FHSU, will be screened by the MDC director with each business making the final selection on the student intern.

For $500, businesses can receive a college intern for 15 hours per week for 16 weeks (one academic semester). The first payment of $250 for fall student interns will be due on Sept. 1. The second payment of $250 will be due at the end of the semester on Dec. 1.

Internships may be renewable for one more semester for an additional $500 investment and with approval by the MDC director.

Internship opportunities are available in the areas of accounting, management information systems, finance, business communications, human resources, economics, operations management, marketing, tourism and hospitality, computer networking and web design.

Businesses interested in this opportunity can email the following application information to [email protected] or contact Sabrina William, MDC director at (785) 628-4124 for more information. Funding is limited, so businesses and students will be selected through a competitive selection process. Priority will be given to northwest Kansas businesses or individuals who are in the startup process or in their first one to three years of business; however, all businesses are welcome to apply.

Priority deadline for applications is Aug. 1.
