VERONA, NY – Turning Stone Enterprises continues to expand its career development programs with the evolution of its internship and externship program. The organization will host 24 students representing 14 different universities and colleges during the summer of 2025 as they receive hands-on training in fields including accounting, hospitality, culinary and retail.
While Turning Stone Enterprises has offered internships and externships for some time, this year it will add a variety of new opportunities for students, including positions in its hospitality, front-of-house food & beverage, sales, nightlife promotions and retail marketing departments. Throughout the summer, students will receive on-the-job training alongside top professionals in their fields to develop real-world skills and knowledge within their chosen disciplines.
The group of students participating in the organization’s expanded internship and externship program represent a broad range of learning institutions, including Cornell University, Syracuse University and the Culinary Institute of America.
Turning Stone Enterprises’ intern and extern programs are part of the Oneida Indian Nation’s broader commitment to investing in the success and economic development of Upstate New York. The organization is among the largest employers in the region with more than 5,000 team members across its diverse portfolio of enterprises. In addition to the intern and extern program, Turning Stone Enterprises offers paid training for table game dealers, 100% tuition reimbursement for licensed massage therapists working at its award-winning spas and more.
The intern and extern program adds to the growing list of Turning Stone Enterprises’ innovative investments in its workforce and the community, including historic pay wages for key positions across its enterprises and the first-of-its-kind team member housing development in the region. With Turning Stone Evolution underway – the $370 million investment project that will double the resort’s conference space, add a new hotel, expand outdoor event spaces and more – even more opportunities for existing and future team members are on the way.
