A new effort to attract and retain talented young people will begin this summer in the Quad Cities. Today the Young Professionals of the Quad Cities announced "InternQC."
Young Professionals director, Aiden Landman, says summer interns at companies and organizations will be invited to special luncheons to learn about business, politics, art, and sports. And they'll be taken to various events and festivals.
He estimates there are hundreds of college-age, summer interns working in the Quad Cities each year, and hopes 30 to 40 will participate during the first year of InternQC.
Employers can register their interns with the Quad Cities Chamber of Commerce, and programming will be held from early June through the end of August.
