Looking for an internship in Michigan?

Tuesday, March 3rd, 2009

If you’re a student looking for internship opportunities or an employer looking for up-and-coming talent in Michigan, check out Intern In Michigan, a site dedicated to connecting “Michigan’s businesses to young Michigan talent.” According to Intern In Michigan:

A survey sponsored jointly by the S.E. Michigan WIRED (Workforce Innovations in Regional Economic Development) and the Michigan Municipal League, sent to over 33,000 graduates of public universities in 2007, found that 46% had left the State by the Spring of 2008. The results were based on the responses of over 5,300 people, 88% of whom were Michigan natives. Clearly, other regions of the country are reaping the rewards of our investment in the education of our young people.

As we try to keep talented young professionals in our state and improve our economy, tools such as Intern In Michigan can be invaluable. So spread the word. If you know students looking for opportunities, please send them a link to the site. And if you are an employer, make this your first stop when recruiting new talent to your organization.

The site also features regional news and links to the site’s partners, such as the Detroit Regional Chamber.
