Ohio Governor Visits CRG to Promote the Ohio 3rd Frontier Internship Program

Governor Bob Taft visited and spoke at CRG on September 13 to promote the success of the Ohio 3rd Frontier Program. The 3rd Frontier project is the state's largest-ever commitment to expand Ohio's high-tech research capabilities and to promote innovation and company formation leading to new high-paying jobs for the state. CRG has benefited from the program's reimbursement for student interns in science and engineering fields.

According to Governor Taft, "Cornerstone is a great example of the dynamic companies that are creating good jobs in our state, and a company that has already identified the benefits of creating meaningful internships for talented Ohio college students."

The Governor toured the facility and spoke with current interns in the program and former interns who have been hired full-time with the company. Local political representatives were also in attendance to support the program. (9-13-2006)
