The Finger Lakes Workforce Investment Board’s Internship Program is a grant funded
program that helps match local, private-sector employers with undergraduate students ages
16-24 who reside in Wayne, Ontario, Seneca or Yates County. All are paid internship
opportunities and must last a minimum of 120 hours. Additionally, college credit for these
internships can sometimes be obtained with approval from the student’s college internship
coordinator or academic advisor.
The INTERNSHIP PROGRAM currently has several, exceptional college students available for
short-term internships. These are career-focused students who are maintaining high GPA’s and
are attending college for their undergraduate degrees. The Internship Program requires that
you, the employer, pay the student intern at least minimum wage ($7.25/hr) for a period of
120 total hours. After that time, you have the option of terminating the relationship as
complete, retaining the student as an employee, or requesting the student back for summer or
school break employment.
Below are some of the students who have recently applied with us and are eager to utilize their
skills to receive hands-on experience at your place of business. Please contact Pat Gopen if you
