Our Mission Statement
Main Street Internships’ goal is to help bring together small businesses and smart, energetic young professionals. Students with a desire to succeed in life and make a positive mark on society bring new life to small businesses and often find rewarding careers where they are given the chance to make a difference.
Our Philosophy
Main St Internships’ philosophy is based on how we see the education industry and its link to the professional world. Attending college distinguishes you from much of your competition and a degree is a badge of accomplishment. However, in an economy with high unemployment, the over educated and under experienced job seeker is a red flag for businesses cutting costs. Our goal is to eliminate this gap in the resume by pairing students with small businesses so they can grow together during the student’s degree path. When we do this there is a natural culminating point where the student graduates and has the experience required to launch a professional career they can enjoy. Businesses like this model because it means they can help shape the industry knowledge of a potential full time employee with experiences unique to their specific business operations.
“It is a person’s collection of experiences which set them apart and empowers career growth and life enjoyment” Jaime Delmont says about the process of finding rewarding work for students.
