WEBINAR: REINVENTING TRADITIONAL INTERNSHIPS FOR A VIRTUAL WORLD
At a time when so many businesses have their employees working remotely, what happens to internship programs? Many companies have transitioned in-person internships to virtual experiences, so that they can continue building a highly-skilled and diverse talent pipeline.

Join us on Tuesday, June 9th 2 PM – 3:30 PM ET for Reinventing Traditional Internships for a Virtual World where we will explore how employers are reinventing their internship programs to go remote and tips for ensuring that it remains a quality and interactive program for both the employer and the interns. This session is hosted by the From Day One editorial team, with support from NAF.
