   Comments: I am in favor of having year-round interns to increase the opportunity of growing employees from within the company. I feel that this is a great way to put these potential employees to the test.

   Comments: This is a no brainer, if we are not going to employ a formal research department, let's at least have some interns who can use our AAAA and other research tools to back up our concepts. Perfect examples of interns utilized well include the Michelob Crafts and Specialties exploration as well as the STL Tour Center research project. THanks

   Comments: ONLY if there is an actual program vs. people sitting around and not saying anything worth while in meetings. Moreover, more people should weigh in on who gets hired, even if the said Intern won't report to or be managed by that person.

   Comments: We should definitely do this, but it's critical that there be an actual program...someone has to own it. That means making sure we hire the right people, keep them busy, ensure they're properly oriented to the company, etc.

   Comments: I am totally in favor of interns and we do have a program of sorts. We have had several interns working here this year, not all of them during the summer. The key is someone taking responsibility to mentor this individual. We have had too many interns in the past who sat around all summer bored. All managers had an opportunity last year to request an intern(s) for this year and it wasn't restricted to the summer. Only a few submitted requests and even fewer that opted to fill the spots that had been approved. Now that we are working on next year's budget I will again be sending the request out to all managers. If anyone is interested in an intern for next year, send that request on to your manager.
