(The Hosting News) – DNS Made Easy will soon launch their Autumn Internship Program in September 2010 as part of their commitment to give back to the community. The purpose of the DNS Made Easy Internship Program is to allow students pursuing careers in IT an opportunity to obtain valuable experience in the field. Students are allowed to shadow senior employees in every part of the business, from sales to support, to the server rooms. Through a combination of classroom-style teaching and hands-on experience, DNS Made Easy hopes to provide students with a better understanding of DNS and other internet technologies as well as exposing them to the many facets of working in a technology-based business.
Interns will not be given direct access to any confidential information, customer data, or production equipment, however all of the interns will be able to gain invaluable experience in these tight economic times when many students are finding fulfilling and educational jobs more difficult to secure. Not only are these students able to earn money during their tenure at DNS Made Easy, but the experience of seeing the inner-workings of a successful Internet business is very beneficial to the interns’ growth.
“Following our third-quarter expansion to our networks and services, we elected to extend our regular summer internship program into the Fall” explains David Miller, VP of Network Operations. “From the applications we have received, we can tell that we’re going to be working with exceptionally dedicated and talented students. These students are willing to set the personal time aside to work with us during the school year. This says a lot about their character and dedication to their careers in the IT industry.”
Many IT related businesses have reduced or eliminated their intern programs due to the current economic climate. DNS Made Easy has used their exponential growth as a means to support and actually expand their internship program over the past several years.
“In this economy, it’s getting harder and harder for recent college graduates to find employment. DNS Made Easy hopes their internship program will give these students an advantage in this tough job market, giving them experience and making them stand out in the crowd of potential candidates.”
DNS Made Easy is proud that 100% of all past interns have found gainful employment immediately following graduation. More information about DNS Made Easy’s suite of services is available at www.dnsmadeeasy.com
