CVB Internships Prepare Students for Real World – Meet Our Summer Interns

Bring on the interns! Thanks to some amazing college internship programs, the Mansfield/Richland County Convention & Visitors Bureau engages with students throughout the year.

All critical knowledge for today’s competitive workforce,” Dobbins said.
