Are you looking to hire a 2011 summer intern? MNA can help!
Are you starting to think about a summer intern but don’t quite have the budget for it?
MNA is excited to announce the Seventh Annual Pohlad Internship Program.
Thanks to a generous grant from the Pohlad Family Foundation,
MNA is pleased to once again provide members with a program that will help
reduce the costs associated with hiring high school-aged
summer interns.
Last year, we placed 67 interns at member newspapers.
This is how it works:
• You choose a high school student, age 16-19, who will work for your newspaper
in any aspect of the business half-time for 10 weeks;
2011 high school graduates do qualify.
• Complete a single-page enrollment form
stating that you will hire a high school intern and wish to participate in the
Summer Youth
Employment subsidy program. Forms are available on the MNA website, and can by
submitted by mail, fax, or e-mail.
• College students and relatives of newspaper staff do not qualify for this program.
• You do need to pay a portion of the intern’s wage. Here is the formula:
*First time interns: Member newspapers will be reimbursed
for 75% of the intern’s wage, up to $1,200. For example: 20 hours per week,
for 10 weeks, times $8 an hour. (suggested wage) — the Pohlad Family
Foundation grant will pay $6 of that $8 wage.
*Repeat interns: Member newspapers, hiring interns for the
second time, will be reimbursed for 40% of the intern’s wage, up to $640.
For example: 20 hours per week, for 10 weeks, times $8 an hour.
(suggested wage) — the Pohlad Family Foundation grant will pay
$3.20 of that $8 wage.
