Oneida County College Corps internship funding
The College Corps pays local college juniors and seniors minimum-wage internships in their chosen fields, with 173 students placed at 54 Oneida County employers this year. The $90,000 transfer covers roughly 25 added interns as the program shifts interns from the county payroll onto employers' payrolls with county reimbursement.
