SUCCASUNNA, N.J./EWORLDWIRE/June 26, 2006 --- For many companies, traditional summer schedules boast several longer Monday through Thursday work-days, culminating in a week cut short by an early Friday closing. This summer, however, Succasunna, New Jersey-based World Internet Marketing, Inc. is brimming with week-long filled activities as a result of its successful student internship outreach - more than a dozen interns have joined the team to assist in reaching aggressive goals set by the company’s C-level management, with some even interning on the weekends.Already recognized in the industry for its flagship service, Eworldwire, the company is seeking to expand its range of service offerings and market reach into specific niche areas that offer significant growth potential.
Complementing the array of distinguished four-year colleges and universities are students from two-year community colleges. Early in the internship, a specific independent project is identified for each intern: the intern functions as a project manager, taking direct responsibility for research, development and implementation, while interacting with other team members. Along the way, most students become involved interacting with clients, in writing and editing press releases and producing video press releases.
This summer, students from towns across northern and central New Jersey pursuing internships hail from many different majors: marketing and communications, broadcasting, journalism, graphic and multimedia design and technology or computer science:

For Weckstein and Jay, this internship fulfills their final requirement for the undergraduate degree. “In this internship, I can build experience in the practical application of the theoretical knowledge I gained in the classroom,” stated Weckstein, who was a member of the computer science honor society Upsilon Pi Epsilon at TCNJ.
