Interns shared about what their duties were, what they learned, how courses prepared them and more. Placement of internships ranged from small family-owned accounting firms to insurance corporate headquarters; some were remote while others attended in-person. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Representatives from our Corporate Partners Northwestern Mutual, Sentry Insurance and Skyward also presented about future opportunities and answered questions from students such as, &#8220;How can students stand out while interviewing, especially virtually?&#8221; and &#8220;What\u2019s the most important thing an intern can do that would lead to success throughout their internship?&#8221;  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>SBE students are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uwsp.edu\/busecon\/Pages\/Resources\/Internships.aspx\">required to complete an internship<\/a> before graduation, many complete more than one. These experiences create opportunities for growth and the development of new skills, and over 65% of our interns are getting job offers are a result of their internships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/media\/set?vanity=uwspbusiness&amp;set=a.3925400360837300https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/uwspbusiness\/posts\/4355591194484879\">Photo Album<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/online.flippingbook.com\/view\/1025670673\/\">Flippingbook Program<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n<a href=\"https:\/\/online.flippingbook.com\/view\/1025670673\" class=\"fbo-embed\" data-fbo-id=\"1025670673\" data-fbo-lightbox=\"yes\" data-fbo-width=\"740px\" data-fbo-height=\"480px\" data-fbo-version=\"1\" data-fbo-method=\"wp\" style=\"max-width: 100%\">SBE Internship Expo Program Spring 2021<\/a><script async defer src=\"https:\/\/online.flippingbook.com\/EmbedScriptUrl?m=redir&hid=1025670673\"><\/script>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The largest group of interns in program history\u201359 students\u2013presented about their internship experiences during the virtual UW-Stevens Point School of Business and Economics Internship Expo Tuesday, May 11.
