Investing in Tomorrow’s Talent Today

In Northeast Indiana, we believe that increasing the number and quality of internships and experiential learning opportunities will prepare our students for full-time employment and expand our talent pool for regional employers.

Wells County is a strong partner in the Northeast Indiana Regional Partnership Internship Program, which supports our region’s talent development and talent attraction goals. Internships give regional employers and their staff the opportunity to become more engaged at work, experience a new role and work with individuals on other teams. 

As the research shows, it takes more than one internship to make a community "sticky." Simply hosting an intern isn’t enough to keep young talent in the region. Our effort involves more than just hosting interns. We aim to exceed the expectations of students and employers by providing a high-quality internship program.
