Healthy Economy Newsletter Intern
This summer, Central Vermont Economic Development Corporation will develop and launch a Healthy Economy Newsletter to help the people of Central Vermont learn about the economic landscape they live in.
We are a team of five women guided by an incredible board of directors who are professional leaders in the region. Our work is to help the economy of Central Vermont thrive and grow. This can look like: helping a potter who wants to build his first website, meeting with a basketball coach who is curious about owning her own cannabis dispensary, or visiting a family-owned company that's interested in turning into an employee-owned co-op. And that's just what happened last week. Every day is a little bit different and there is a lot to enjoy in Central Vermont and at CVEDC.
This internship specifically will be the work of a team of three summer interns. Together, you and your supervisor will develop and produce a regular dashboard of information, stories, and data that helps Central Vermonters understand the economy they participate in.
You should reach out about this job opportunity if you love finding the story and through line in a bunch of numbers, imagine owning your own business one day, come from a family business background, enjoy learning about economics, support sustainability, community development, and other ways of helping encourage connection and growth in Vermont.
We would particularly like to speak with students who are good with Excel, have experience writing reports, have worked with newsletter programs, or are curious to learn about these things.
The work is flexible between remote and in-person, though some in person work is required almost every week. We understand many students will want a week or two completely free in the summer, which is fine.
The best majors for this internship are business, economics, or community and regional development. We are also open to English or writing majors who are interested in business, politics, and how the economy works.
