Boston, MA – August 29, 2005 – Decision Partners, Inc. (http://www.decisionpartners.org) today announced the expansion of the A+ Summer Jobs career education website. The service now includes over 1,000 leading employers of summer college interns, yielding a total of 2,000 major summer employers representing nearly 500,000 seasonal positions.

With the addition of career-related internships, A+ Summer Jobs offers a summer work experience for any college student, regardless of where they are in their career path. Many students seek fun, travel-related employment for the summer. For those students, working in a national park, on a dude ranch, in an Alaskan resort, or on a Mississippi riverboat are just a few of the thousands of opportunities available.

For students seeking career-focused employment, the new internship material covers the following subjects: magazines and media, international relations, advocacy organizations in Washington DC, major and minor league sports teams, advertising and public relations, human rights organizations, environmental advocacy, and leading Fortune 500 employers. Each profile includes a company introduction, an overview of the internship opportunities, application instructions, all contact information, and a direct link to the company internship website for breaking news and announcements.

The expanded A+ Summer Jobs is available to individual job seekers and to college career offices. Pricing for colleges is based on a sliding scale depending on enrollment and department budgets.
