BUSINESS COUNCIL PUBLISHES GUIDE ON AVAILABLE HOUSING FOR SUMMER INTERNSThe Business Council of Fairfield County has just published an information sheet that offers a new resource for interns trying to find affordable summer housing.
Entitled “2008 Available Housing for Summer Interns,” the information sheet contains contact information for campus housing at Sacred Heart University and Fairfield University in Fairfield as well as housing opportunities at the University of Bridgeport and a list of apartments in the Stamford area for short term or temporary rental.
“The Summer Intern Housing Information sheet,” said Stephanie Williams, Human Resources associate with Stamford-based Pitney Bowes, “is an invaluable piece of information. This guide shows interns how to find affordable rooms in Fairfield County as well as the transportation needed to get to and from work.”
Rick DelVecchio, Director for Career Placement at Sacred Heart University, said the information sheet “should be of tremendous benefit to businesses utilizing interns in Fairfield County.”
“Sacred Heart University is excited to work with The Business Council of Fairfield County in providing this data sheet to help local businesses meet the challenge of temporary summer housing for interns.”
The data was provided by the Internship Stakeholders Council, a regional network of business and academic representatives established in 2007 by the Business Council to share perspectives on the regional internship environment. The Internship Stakeholders Council is part of the One Coast, One Future project that seeks to stimulate economic growth, job creation and individual economic opportunity by linking the Coastal Fairfield County region’s business centers in an alliance for mutual benefit.
For questions or comments about the information sheet for summer intern housing, please contact Bob Stokes at The Business Council; 203-487-6879 or email: rstokes@businessfairfield.com.
The Business Council is a private, non-profit corporation headquartered in
Stamford serving businesses in Fairfield County. It is governed by
a volunteer board of twenty-five directors and served by a professional staff
of seven. The corporation was formed by the merger of three
organizations in 1970, the oldest of which had been founded in 1890. Today,
The Business Council membership includes 320 corporations, 62 non-profit
institutions, and more than 2,700 professional and affiliate members. It
serves as a catalyst for private sector involvement in public policy and is
the vehicle for a network of business leaders to address key issues facing the
region as well as to strengthen their own businesses.
