ONU prof describes value of internship
Posted by Monty Siekerman on Saturday, June 17, 2017

Beyond typical summer jobs, internships can prove to be an especially profitable way for college students to invest time in their futures.

“Internships offer a great way for students to discover whether their intended professional field is the career path they really wish to explore,” said Matt Lambdin, Ed.D., director of experiential learning in Ohio Northern's business college

“These opportunities put students in the workplace, and they get a real feel for what they do after graduation. They can make sure this is what they want to do on a daily basis after they graduate and, if so, determine what skills they need to develop in moving forward.”

ONU prof gives his opinion on raising minimum wage

Posted by Monty Siekerman on Saturday, June 17, 2017

“As a higher wage is imposed, business owners in areas such as fast food and retail will assess their ability to hire workers. Firms will have to determine whether the benefit of an employee justifies the cost. Service businesses may determine to hire fewer workers and rely more on automation,” said McClough.
