Our friends at TechColumbus have given us a heads-up on a wonderful opportunity. The Ohio Third Frontier Internship Program is offering to reimburse high-tech businesses that hire and develop Ohio college students.

Here are the details:

The Third Frontier Internship Program is looking for participating businesses that can provide internships in the following categories:

• Advanced Manufacturing;
• Advanced Materials;
• Bioscience;
• Information Technology;
• Instruments, Controls and Electronics; and
• Power and Propulsion.

Students gain insightful, hands-on, paid work experience in their field of study and participating businesses are partially compensated for wages paid during these internships.

The Ohio Third Frontier Internship Program will reimburse up to 50 percent of the intern’s wages, or no more than $3,000. After the individual graduates, participating firms will have the opportunity to offer him/her full-time employment.
