Internship Opportunities

Duties of the intern: Interns are responsible for a main project that will increase or improve the services of the GHCC. These projects may relate to internal or external operations, and are assigned according to the needs and requirements of the Chamber and the intern. Duties will also consist of clerical work that arises daily. A 10 hour per week minimum commitment is expected. Desired Qualifications: Bilingual students (Spanish/English), open-minded, achievement-oriented with demonstrated leadership skills, an interest in business, attendance at a college or university, self-motivated and independent. Application Deadline: All prospective interns should contact the Chamber in order to schedule an interview. Winter Interns: We begin accepting resumes during the Fall semester for a Winter semester internship. The deadline to apply is the first Tuesday in November. We will schedule all interviews prior to the Thanksgiving Holiday. We will notify accepted candidates during the first week of December. Summer Interns: The deadline for sending in your resume for a Summer internship is the last week of March. All interviews will take place during the first week and a half of April. Students will be notified of acceptance prior to the end of April. Fall Interns: The deadline for sending in your information for a Fall internship will be the last week of July. We will conduct interviews during the first week of August, and will notify accepted candidates by the middle of August. We would like all interns to have a half-day orientation prior to the start of their internship, in order to further familiarize themselves with our staff, and the workings of the Chamber. Payment: As the Chamber is a non-profit organization, there is no compensation for interns. All expenses incurred while working for GHCC are reimbursed. The Governor's Intern Program provides some support for qualifying students. You may be able to receive credit for your internship hours through your institution of learning. To arrange an interview, please fax your resume to (404) 929 - 9908.
