The Northeast Wisconsin Manufacturing Alliance encourages college students to attend the 11th annual “Internship Draft Day” at Lambeau Field Nov. 5 from 3 – 5:45 p.m.
The event is co-sponsored by the NEW Manufacturing Alliance and the Northeast Wisconsin Educational Resource Alliance. College students from throughout Wisconsin and Upper Michigan will have the opportunity to interview with over 50 NEWMA member companies offering more than 200 paid internships and co-ops.
Ann Franz, executive director of NEWMA stated, “Before the NFL Draft came to Green Bay, our organization has had its own draft over the past 10 years. Internship Draft Day is an innovative approach to the college internship fair by having students earning points for how well they interview and the top point getters will be announced as the number one draft pick from their college.”
Prior to the event, students received points for participation in college clubs, relevant work experience and their overall GPA. At the end of the day, there will be announcement of the No. 1 draft picks based on the points the students earned during the event. The top overall Draft Pick will receive a $2,500 college scholarship for the upcoming college term from the Alliance, plus there are other opportunities to win $500 college scholarship. All the students attending the event will receive a free event t-shirt.
