Internship Program

MSU Royal Oak Business Internship Program logo 04feb11The Goal

Showcase the area’s cultural, social and business opportunities to college students from across Michigan.

Background

Young college graduates are leaving the state at a significant rate.  However, we have the opportunity to retain and attract interest in the area.

Small businesses provide roughly 70% of net new jobs annually.  Small businesses drive economic turnarounds.  Locally, Royal Oak offers a diverse local economy with roughly 900 small businesses.

Within the state of Michigan, Royal Oak is in the unique position to offer a broad range of opportunities for a fulfilling and high quality lifestyle.  The small business and creative environment in Royal Oak offers a centerpiece of economic and cultural opportunities for our next entreprenuers, artists and community contributors.

The Program

Michigan State University and Royal Oak Forward are partnering to launch the MSU Royal Oak Business Internship Program.  Select undergraduate students will participate in the term-based internships with local Royal Oak area businesses.
