That's where small businesses can be of great importance. In addition, they can bring energy and enthusiasm to the workplace through their desire to learn. For example, internships , whether paid or unpaid, can offer an opportunity for students to experience your workplace firsthand. Most internships can be arranged to fit your schedule - only afternoons, for instance or only during the summer time. Job shadowing is another opportunity for small businesses.

Students who are hired as apprentices are paid modest wages and join the company as a junior staff member.
