RI Nexus Heads to Aquidneck Island,
Continues its College Tour at Salve Regina University

What: RI Nexus College Tour
When: Wednesday, April 22, 11:30 a.m.
Where: Salve Regina University, O’Hare Academic Center, 100 Ochre Point Ave., Newport.
Who: RI Nexus Program Director and Providence Geeks Co-Founder Jack Templin hosts a discussion with undergraduates about information-technology and digital media job opportunities in Rhode Island.

What's the RI Nexus College Tour?

Through RI Nexus and its College Tour, the Rhode Island Economic Development Corporation aims to forge a deeper connection with Rhode Island’s college students, with a focus on retaining the students in the state after they graduate. The RI Nexus College Tour will encourage students interested in information-technology and digital media to remain in Rhode Island to fill high-paying, entry-level jobs in the sector and to use the resources offered through RI Nexus — such as the job and internship boards and company profiles — to further develop their talent and knowledge of the ITDM sector.

At each stop in the College Tour, RI Nexus Program Director Jack Templin will provide an overview of the state's burgeoning info-tech and digital media sector, show students how to use the tools and resources of the RI Nexus community, and lead an open discussion on the program.
This event is open to the public.

Are you kidding! The one requirement I have for my child's college is that it NOT be in RI. If he wants to come back after seeing how things work in the real world, that will be his choice.

They should be recruiting from out-of-state to get some fresh blood in here - I'd like to meet someone I'm not related to somehow.

Hmm, got big bucks, do you? The best buys in the State are its university system.

Summer jobs, internships, especially ones that pay, are a good thing.
