Campus to Career

The greatest connection that OFIC can make is between Ohio employers looking for bachelor degree talent and students from our 32 member campuses. Internships are a great first connection to an employer. OFIC is partnering with key organizations and donors to offer students paid internship opportunities!

Empowering Students Through Paid Summer Internships

OFIC is proud to partner with generous donors like The Nord Family Foundation and Employers Health to create valuable paid summer internship opportunities for students. Thanks to the Nord Family Foundation's continued support, internships will once again be available at non-profits in Lorain County. Additionally, Employer's Health has generously funded internships at non-profits in their region (supporting Portage, Stark, Summit, Tuscarawas, and Wayne County). These programs provide hands-on experience, professional growth, and pathways to success for students across Ohio.

Congratulations to this years summer Employer’s Health interns!
