                                    The MIC Program offers business partners the opportunity to:
                                    
                                    
                                       
                                       - Reduce your training costs. You will have the opportunity to work in partnership with The MIC Program to determine
                                          competencies taught in the program. This partnership will ensure skills being taught
                                          in the classroom align with skills demanded by industry, thus reducing your training
                                          time.
 
                                       
                                       - Shape curriculum. Business partners work with secondary and post-secondary faculty to determine the
                                          competencies needed by interns in order for them to be successful employees.
 
                                       
                                       - Access pre-screened applicants in high-demand skill areas. The MIC Program develops programs for jobs with identified skills gaps between employer
                                          needs and applicant availability. Student interns have one year in the program prior
                                          to starting their internship to prove they have the knowledge and skills to add value
                                          to your company.
 
                                       
                                       - Develop a relationship with students early. You can assist students in becoming valued associates at your company and have highly
                                          trained employees two years sooner.
 
                                       
                                       - Supplement your workforce to reduce your need for additional full-time associates.
