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>SBE students are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uwsp.edu\/busecon\/Pages\/Resources\/Internships.aspx\">required to complete an internship<\/a> before graduation\u2013many 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\/uwspbusiness\/posts\/252005203599389\">Photo Album<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/online.flippingbook.com\/view\/372705789\/\">Flippingbook Program<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n<a href=\"https:\/\/online.flippingbook.com\/view\/372705789\" class=\"fbo-embed\" data-fbo-id=\"372705789\" 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 Summer 2021<\/a><script async defer src=\"https:\/\/online.flippingbook.com\/EmbedScriptUrl?m=redir&hid=372705789\"><\/script>\n\n\n\n<p>Special thanks to our internship supervisors who help our students learn so much outside the classroom:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> Antigo\/Langlade County Chamber<br> Aqua Finance Inc<br> Assembly Shop<br> Associated Bank<br> AZ Sun Services <br> Bergstrom Automotive<br> Bethany Home Inc<br> Buckle<br> Camp Nashoba North<br> Church Mutual Insurance Company<br> Corporation for Advanced Application<br> Country Visions Cooperative <br> D&amp;M Flooring America<br> D1 Training Stevens Point<br> Dave&#8217;s Sheet Metal<br> Drexel Building Supply<br> Dunkin&#8217; Donuts<br> Eastern Living Real Estate <br> Elite Realty Tream<br> Elite Team Wisconsin BJJ<br> Endries International<br> Enterprise Rent-A-Car<br> Good News Project <br> Harbor City Charters<br> Holiday Shores Marina\/Campground and Resort<br> IncredibleBank<br> Integrity Tax Service<br> Intercity State Bank<br> K\/M Sales and Service <br> Kocourek Chevrolet<br> Marion Body Works<br> Menards<br> Metro Market<br> Milwaukee Milkmen<br> Northwestern Mutual<br> Omernik &amp; Associates <br> Prevention Genetics<br> Redman Realty Group &#8211; JKP Real Estate<br> SACO AEI Polymers<br> Schneider National<br> Seagrave Fire Apparatus LLC<br> Sentry Insurance<br> Sheet Piling Services, LLC<br> Simplicity Credit Union <br> Ski&#8217;s Meat Market<br> Skyward<br> Stevens Point Orthopedics<br> Storm Elite Allstars<br> Superior Block Co., Inc.<br> TDS<br> Tevera<br> The Baker House<br> UFP Janesville <br> Urbans Greenhouse<br> UWSP University Centers<br> Vancouver Whitecaps FC L.P.<br> Water Monkey Camp<br> Westphal Staffing<br> World Music Foundation<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After a 21-month in-person hiatus, it was well worth the wait to return to the Laird Room for 65 summer interns from the UW-Stevens Point School of Business and Economics.
