I have been selected to help create the new internship program for SL Bade & Associates. To go one step further, SL Bade and Peoria School District are working together to create a program that all small businesses can participate in. Shelley Bade and MaryAnne Berens, Centennial High School’s Internship Coordinator for the Career and Technological Education (CTE) division of PUSD, are joining together to put the program together.
This Small Business Intern Program will open doors for young students, like myself, into the world of owning and operating a small business. Students like me will learn valuable skills that are simply impossible to teach in a classroom setting. I have learned so much in just the few short weeks I have been on board the Bade team.
As an Administrative Intern, my duties include: greeting visitors; coordinating maintenance of the office; copying, scanning and filing; creating and distributing marketing materials; and assisting with the company’s social networking.
The opportunities and business skills SL Bade & Associates has opened up for me has given me much experience and the confidence to grow, whether it be through the workforce or college. I am very excited to be a part of this wonderful experience, and to clear the pathway for other students and small businesses.
Also excited for the new opportunities, Shelley has just sent out a Press Release this week regarding the Internship Program. To view the press release, Click Here.
