Ben Franklin Technology Partners Job Link Program

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:

  1. 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.
  2. IDENTIFY projects, internships, and other possibilities within the BFTP portfolio and other regional emerging technology and manufacturing companies.
  3. MENTOR alumni and other regional job seekers who are looking to make an exciting career shift.
  4. 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?
