OPPORTUNITY: CCSF MAKER SPHERE INTERNSHIP PROGRAM

CCSF redseal

 

Sweet Dreams has been invited to apply for a CCSF intern. We are long time members of SFMade and they are working with CCSF, to place 15 interns with SFMade business members. The goal is to provide students with opportunities for work-based learning with local manufacturers. Hopefully starting in January

We will host an intern for a 20-hour project and those wages would be subsidized. If we want an intern for longer we would be able to hire them onto Sweet Dreams’ payroll. Sweet Dreams welcomes new, creative energy.

We are excited about the opportunity!

GREAT NEWS: SF Travel & Sweet Dreams

An amazing opportunity:

At the Pinterest Holiday Fair we meet reps from SF Travel. They were impressed with our story and loved our lavender eye pillows.  We are now filling a special order for the SF Travel Organization (The SF Convention and Visitor’s Bureau) for their client holiday gifts.  SF Travel’s clients are meeting planners that bring meetings and events to the Bay Area. What an opportunity for Sweet Dreams!
Thanks to Pinterest for curating us in to the Pinterest Holiday Fair 2018.
