Third Frontier Internship Opportunities for Kent State CS Students

During the summer of 2005, two Kent State Computer Science students held internships with their sponsoring companies through the Third Frontier Internship Program (3FTP). The mission of 3FTP is to further develop Ohio high-tech industries and research, with particular attention paid to startup companies that generate high-paying jobs. The objective of this program is to develop talented workers in the areas of science and technology to become the driving force of Ohio’s economy. At the same time, 3FTP provides an opportunity for college students to be engaged in the real world and for university personnel to become more intimately acquainted with the demands, strategies, and processes of the business world. 3FTP is a win-win situation for all stakeholders – for students, for educators, for business leaders, and for all Ohioans as the state moves toward a knowledge-based economy, an economy that relies on technical and scientific expertise in all aspects of everyday life.

Students should visit ClevelandIntern.net to learn more about 3FTP internship opportunities. To register for internship opportunities, computer science majors at Kent should visit www.ecampusrecruiter.com/kent.

Once a student’s eligibility in the program has been established, the student will be asked to complete a survey, which is the next step in the approval process. Career Services will then notify the student whether his or her survey has been approved and will provide further details on how to upload the survey results in the form of a resume to ClevelandIntern.net and how to manage it. A job agent will then be created by the student to receive information on applicable internship opportunities. Students should apply for 3FTP internships only through the ClevelandIntern.net website.

A student receiving an invitation for an interview and/or an internship offer through this program should notify both the Kent State Career Services and the Computer Science Advising Office. A successful performance by one Kent State Computer Science student leads to many more opportunities for his or her classmates.
