Here is a possible summer internship. I don't expect it will qualify for
course credit (i.e. practicum), any of you looking for something in HR
this is a good opportunity. I don't know how much Excel is required, but
if it means programming in Excel, that would be advanced. If it's just
data input and some calculating, shouldn't be a problem for most. Check
it out for those who are interested.
