SARATOGA SPRINGS – On Wednesday, Feb. 21, members of the Downtown Business Association (DBA) held the group’s monthly meeting at the Tang Museum.
A program organized by Clark Brink, owner of CB Enterprises and DBA board member, spotlighted the initiatives at Skidmore College that strengthen partnerships between students and the local business community.
The Skidmore-Saratoga Consulting Partnership (SSCP), the Career Development Center, the Zankel Music Center, the Office of Special Programs and the Tang Museum hosted the event. Most of the SSCP students plan to graduate this year from the college.
Students debuted a video featuring clients who worked with SSCP consultants. The clients included Northshire Bookstore, Saratoga Juice Bar, Saratoga Bike Share, Pitney Meadows Community Farm, Death Wish Coffee and many DBA members.
The career center also presented a track record of internship and career placements, showing video of interns at Lift Marketing and Brendan Flanigan Design.
Three interns shared recent experiences at DBA companies: Josh Worley at Ayco; Enrico Patarini at Stat Staff; and Emily Meagher at the Children’s Museum of Saratoga.
