About this Event
Your talent pipeline is crucial to the future of your business. That's why the Southwest Michigan First Intern Mixer Series is an important part of our talent initiative. Our goal is to provide interns from across the region an opportunity to meet other students and experience Southwest Michigan in a way that inspires them to begin their careers here and make our region home.
New This Year: A “kickstart” professional development program
In response to company requests, we are adding a half-day professional development curriculum to the series. This program will equip interns with valuable insights and skills needed as they begin their professional journey. The session includes networking, refreshments, and a walking tour of downtown Kalamazoo. Your interns will build relationships with peers, navigate the community, and learn how to take advantage of the many assets our region has to offer.
