Music Lessons Express
Are you an entrepreneur at heart? Do you have a passion for seeing the arts thrive? Are you interested in developing a small business in your community? Then we have an internship for YOU!
Music Lessons Express is thrilled to offer an internship to FSU students in the College of Communication! We are confident that our internship will provide a valuable opportunity for you as you continue in this next step of your education.
MLE is looking for an intern who will bring a variety of skills and ideas to the table. One of the benefits of working in a small business setting is that you work closely with the executive director to learn all aspects of the business. However, we also recognize the importance for you, as an intern, to have the opportunity and responsibility to develop and carry out a specific goal or project.
Your time as an intern would be divided between two primary functions: program management and your choice of program expansion or program research (or both if interested). Please review a more detailed job description on page 2 of this handout.
Music Lessons Express is now conducting interviews for intern positions for the 2010-11 school year. If you are interested in more information or would like to schedule an interview, please contact Lindsey Benedict at 850-219-3653 or lindsey@musiclessonsexpress.com.
