The Northeast Wisconsin Manufacturing Alliance (NEWMA) is pleased to announce the 9th annual “Internship Draft Day” at Lambeau Field on Thursday, November 2, 2023 from 3 p.m. – 5:45 p.m. The event is co-sponsored by the NEW Manufacturing Alliance (NEWMA) and the Northeast Wisconsin Educational Resource Alliance (NEW ERA). Over 100 college students from throughout Wisconsin and Upper Michigan will have the opportunity to interview with over 50 NEWMA member companies offering more than 200 paid internships and co-ops.
Ann Franz, executive director of NEWMA stated, “There is a lot of excitement regarding the NFL Draft coming to Green Bay, however our organization has been a trendsetter in hosting a Draft at Lambeau for 9 years.” Franz added, “Internship Draft Day is an innovative approach to the college internship fair by having students earning points for how well they interview and the top point getters will be announced as the number one draft pick from their college.” Prior to the event, students received points for participation in college clubs, relevant work experience and their overall GPA. At the end of the day, Mark Murphy, president and CEO of the Green Bay Packers will be announcing the number one draft picks based on the points the students earned during the event. The top overall Draft Pick will receive a $2,500 college scholarship for the upcoming college term from the Alliance. Franz stated, “How exciting for the students to hear their name called by Mr. Murphy as the number one draft pick for their college!”
