Testimonials From Employer Partners

The NIU JobsPLUS program is a tremendous benefit for our interns and our organization. This is the first step in developing their professional presence. The students are able to enhance their communication and leadership skills while working for us which makes them more effective in their roles.

The Professional Development Series benefits the employee and the employer. The students come back to the job more knowledgeable and aware in areas such as business etiquette and leadership. The employees involved in the workshops leave more motivated and excited and it shows in their job. They are eager to tell me about the their experiences and apply it to their current job. Win-win!

I’ve heard people say, 'What if I train them and they leave?' I say, 'What if you don’t train them and they stay?' As long as I have interns from NIU, I will continue in this program. The return on investment for OC and for students will far exceed the few hours we invested in this.
