Internship

The Pocono Mountains Visitors Bureau (PMVB) and East Stroudsburg University (ESU) have partnered to support ESU students. The goal is to provide them with market-ready opportunities to gain hands-on experience in preparation for permanent careers after graduation.

By working closely with PMVB, ESU students are able to customize their experiential learning and tailor their leadership and skills development toward specific industries and firms.

Another important part of the collaboration between PMVB and ESU is integrating diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) across numerous media platforms that reach increasingly diverse communities living, working, and playing in the Poconos.
