Vermont Employee Ownership Center Our annual Vermont Employee Ownership Conference (May 30, 2025) is growing, and we are excited to announce that our annual VEOC internship is growing along with it! While our internship has historically begun just before our conference in early summer, our 2025 internship will start in February, providing our next intern with the hands-on experience of helping to plan and promote our 23rd annual conference throughout the spring semester.
Bringing an intern onto the team in the spring will expand our capacity at our busiest time of year, making for a more robust conference planning and promotion process in a year that is likely to yield our largest, most interesting Vermont Employee Ownership Conference to date. It will also present the intern with a chance to develop a variety of highly-transferable behind-the-scenes event planning and promotion skills.
The right candidate is likely to be a student of business, economics, or community development with experience/coursework in marketing and communications and a genuine interest in employee ownership.
We are accepting applications for a 2025 Communications and Events Intern now through Friday, November 22!

Worker Owner Rights & Responsibilities Training
Join Madison Workers Cooperative (MadWorC) for a training about Worker-Owner Rights and Responsibilities
Description: The 1st Co-op Principle is Open and Voluntary Membership, which is described as meaning “open to all persons able to use their services and willing to accept the responsibilities of membership”. Meeting responsibilities means understanding what those responsibilities are. Worker-owners also gain rights by joining the cooperative, including many rights that do not exist in other kinds of work situations. These rights and responsibilities are one of the things that distinguish a worker cooperative from other kinds of companies and jobs. We will go over some of the key rights and responsibilities of members, reflect on why they are important, and discuss how we hold ourselves and each other accountable. This training includes time for individual reflection, group discussion, and small group activities.
When: Wednesday, October 23rd, from 6pm-7:45pm Central Time
