Z University.org Launches Free Workforce Readiness Webinar Series

Too many businesses fail to leverage the opportunity to have college interns. Those that do often fall short of fully utilizing college studentsí capabilities, and realizing the invaluable contributions they can make with a well-structured and managed internship program.

Z University.org (ZU), a leading advocate and provider of workforce readiness solutions, introduces a free webinar series to educate employers and charitable organizations about how to develop a successful internship program. The first webinar in the business education series will be hosted live at three times on Tuesday, November 14, entitled: ìAdding Student Productivity to the Bottom Line: Cultivating Internship Program Success.î

The webinar will focus on internship program best practices, including insights from the core system that Z University.org developed for site sponsors to make students most productive. The presenter, Matthew Zinman, is the president and founder of Z University.org, the creator of the Intern Toolkit, and a leading advocate and innovator of workforce readiness solutions and internship programs.

Mr. Zinman will make a 12-minute presentation, which will be followed by open QandA for as long as participants wish to continue. For their convenience, Z University.org will present its live webinar three times throughout the day: at 9 a.m., 12 noon, and 4 p.m. (EST). Registration is accessible directly at http://www.interntoolkit.com/webinar.asp

ìAny business that hires college graduates, or simply needs added resources, stands to benefit from having college interns,î says Zinman. ìBusinesses will find college students to be highly capable, highly motivated and, if well-managed, highly valuable. They can perform a variety of tasks, such as any involving research, writing, event planning, phone calls, and computers. These examples only represent the productivity potential of core business skills, not the opportunity to apply studentsí chosen career skills.î

Throughout the webinar and open QandA session, Mr. Zinman will reveal insights gained during his over 20 years of first-hand internship experience and personally managing more than 200 student interns (and counting).

Mr. Zinman is the developer of ZUís Intern Toolkit(TM), a complete resource to enable employers and charitable organizations with everything they need to manage an internship program most easily and effectively.

Mr. Zinman continues to author numerous articles for various trade and business publications and lecture at colleges, universities, and professional associations on a number of experiential learning and career development topics.

ZU aims to help employer host sites have best-in-class internship programs and create rewarding outcomes and experiences for all involved.
