Local Butte, Montana businesses absorb student interns though the Montana Business Expansion and Retention, or BEAR, program

March 23, 2014/

Professor Traci O’Neill had a brainstorm over Christmas break to match local businesses with student interns as a way to strengthen the Butte business community.

The upshot? The connections give businesses a boost in marketing while students garner valuable on-the-job experience. The Tech-to-business project is an offshoot of the Montana Business Expansion and Retention, or BEAR, program. http://businessresources.mt.gov/BEAR/default.mcpx
