While the employer gains quality assistance for the summer, the students are able to broaden their backgrounds and hone newly acquired skills. By the end of their first year at GSIA, students have gained a basic understanding of the functional areas of marketing, finance, production management, information systems, accounting and human resource management. They have also acquired sophisticated analytical problem solving and communication skills and a thorough introduction to economics and the management environment.
All students have strong basic computer skills and knowledge of many software packages.
Hiring a summer intern can be beneficial to your organization in many ways. Assignments Expectations of what makes a good summer internship vary from one student to the next. However, we suggest that the company provide an assignment that will use the skills learned during the first year in the MBA program. A project that the intern can handle from initiation to completion, including both written and oral reports, is ideal . The internship stands on its own, and there is no obligation to make a permanent job offer.
