Intern Bridge Is Excited To Partner With Marymount University
Wednesday, March 9, 2011
8:30am to 12:30pm
ABOUT THE WORKSHOP
Utilizing interns is the perfect way to conduct recruiting activities by identifying future hires, increasing retention rates, maintaining a pipeline of highly qualified candidates, creating and building relationships with local universities and organizations, and having short-term projects completed by an educated workforce.
For the above to be true, organizations must host effective and meaningful programs. How is this done? What are students looking for? What are the expectations of universities? What can organizations do to make their programs the best they can be?
The first part of the College Recruiting Best Practices Workshop is designed to help you build a win-win internship program within your organization. Based on the most in-depth research ever to be conducted into the successful management of internship programs, you can be assured that you will leave the event with a newfound approach to internships.
The presentation will include detail statistics from proprietary Intern Bridge research. Qualitative and quantitative responses will be shared from our latest research project, the National Internship and Co-op Study - a detailed examination of what makes internship programs successful based on the responses of over 42,000 students from more than 400 universities.

Utilizing a structured entry talent program is the perfect way to attract, recruit, and retain affordable and educated recent college graduates. Far beyond an internship program, a structured entry talent program affords organizations the opportunity to hire top-notch full-time employees while experiencing a increased retention rates, maintaining a pipeline of highly qualified candidates, and building relationships with local universities who hold the key to this talented group of knowledge workers.
For success to be achieved in a college recruiting program, organizations must first assess their organizational need, and then design, build and implement a structure to meet those needs while not forgetting the importance of ongoing assessment and review. How is this accomplished? What are organizations recognized as being leaders within the college recruiting industry doing? What are the expectations of entry level talent candidates? What can organizations do to ensure they attract, develop and retain the talent THEY need?
The second part of the College Recruiting Best Practices Workshop is designed to help build a win-win full-cycle college recruiting program within your organization. With content derived from detailed industry research, and gathering of best practices and first-hand practical experience, you can be assured that you will leave the program with a newfound approach to establishing the very best college recruiting strategy possible within your organization.

ABOUT THE PRESENTER
Improving the performance of an organization through its people. This simple yet powerful message has served as the foundation upon which Dave Cofer built his career. Dave founded Cofer Consulting Solutions, LLC in 2008 motivated by a strong desire to share his expertise in attracting, developing and retaining young professionals. Prior to starting his own business, Dave enjoyed a 15+ year employment relationship with Bank One and later JPMorgan Chase. In the spring of 1993, Dave was a recent High School graduate and had just been accepted into the prestigious INROADS internship program. His sponsor company was Bank One. Dave would go on to spend every summer of his undergraduate career as an intern with Bank One, where, upon graduation, he would begin his full-time career.
This full-time employment relationship would last for over 10 years. During this 10 year period of time, Dave would gain experience in the areas of Human Resources, Cultural Transformation and Continuous Improvement. It would be the latter years of Dave’s career with JPMorgan Chase when he would truly realize the coming together of his vocation and his life’s purpose. Dave’s work in the areas of entry talent management truly solidified what would become his life’s work. Dave had the opportunity to experience and lead all facets of the entry talent management equation. This included day-to-day leadership of a rotation-based management development program. In this capacity, Dave was responsible for both the strategic and tactical delivery of the program. Additionally, Dave introduced efficiencies and process improvement methods that reduced costs and delivered talent to the business faster and more effectively than before.
In his last role prior to leaving JPMorgan Chase, Dave served as Recruiting Manager and Intern Program Manager for the Corporate Sector’s entry programs. In this Vice President level role, Dave oversaw the firm’s largest entry talent recruiting team and summer internship program globally. Dave’s team was responsible for hiring over 700 people annually (full-time hires and interns) and overseeing a 350+ person summer internship program.
Today, Dave is the Director of Client Solutions at Intern Bridge, Inc. Dave holds a B.S. in Business from Miami University (majors: Organizational Behavior & Human Resource Management) and an M.A. in Education from The Ohio State University (major: Workforce Development & Education; specialization: Human Resource Development). He resides in Worthington, OH with his wife and family.
Dave is a valued and integral member of the Intern Bridge team. In 2009, he delivered the webinar entitled: Tough Talk for Tough Times: Ideas for Maintaining an Entry Level Talent Program During a Recession and served as a guest interview subject during the 2009 Internship Academy. Dave will deliver the keynote presentation during the January, 2010 Career Services Conference. Additionally, in 2010 Dave will join the team of writers of our newest venture, the Intern Advocate Blog as a weekly contributor and featured blog author. Dave recently served as a keynote presenter during the NEACEFE/NYSCEEA 2009 Joint Conference. In June, 2010 Dave also presented at the NACE Annual Conference in Orlando, FL.
