One of the great things about having our businesses here in Fredericksburg is the unique opportunity to work closely with the University of Mary Washington. In this presentation, we’ll be learning more about their internship program, along with 15 other ways small business owners can get involved with the UMW College of Business. From hearing this presentation given last month at FredAlive we can say there are some really unique opportunities for micro-businesses to benefit from the Business program at UMW as well as ways both big and small for us to help these young people learn and grow.
