With funding support from the Appalachian Regional Commission (ARC), Ben Franklin Technology Partners has launched a Job Link initiative to help companies in Central and Northern PA find talent. We plan to create ‘win-win’ opportunities for local talent to find relevant meaningful job opportunities that match company needs.
Ben Franklin’s Job Link AIMS to create a talent pipeline that connects students, graduates and alumni to area technology and manufacturing companies. The program will:
- ASSIST all students from freshman to graduate level in identifying internships and other job opportunities that can be the first step to a rewarding career.
- IDENTIFY projects, internships, and other possibilities within the BFTP portfolio and other regional emerging technology and manufacturing companies.
- MENTOR alumni and other regional job seekers who are looking to make an exciting career shift.
- SERVE as a liaison between companies, educational partners, and job seekers
Job Seekers:
Work in an industry that is relevant to your studies. Adjust your career path while helping to advance the competitiveness of the emerging technology companies in our region.
Companies:
Need talent for short- or long-term projects? Have a great project that an intern can complete? Looking for talent for an open position?
