-: Yeah the internship program at Sweetwater
is throughout the year
but our main program is a full summer internship program.
We hire about 15 individuals on
and they are full time employees,
Monday through Friday,
eight to five, 40 hours a week
on our team.
We're holding them to the same expectations
we would any other employee.
We often tell them don't think of this
as a "internship."
I think that when people go into it
and say you know, I'm an intern
or this is is just a 90 day internship,
they're not giving it everything that they could.
What we tell them is think of this
as a 90 day working interview.
If you just knock our socks off
and you just do amazing work for us,
you need to think of it as
at the end of the 90 days
because you did such a great job for us,
we can't afford to lose you.
So I would give that advice
whether it's specifically with Sweetwater
or any other
company or organization's interns.
Man, use that as a 90 day,
a 90 day working interview.
Go in there, do everything you can,
say yes to as many projects as you can
and really create a name for yourself
and put yourself in a position
that they can't afford to lose you.
