Intern web site connects employers, students with eye to keeping talent in state

Efforts to attract and retain top young talent to Michigan just got a leg up with a new web site that matches interns and employers. The hope of the West Michigan organization that developed the site is that those internships will turn into full time jobs.

According to excerpts from the story:

A first-of-its-kind initiative matches employers and interns across the state, with a goal of keeping college graduates in Michigan.

InternInMichigan.com, which went live March 2, is an internship portal -- similar to Monster.com or CareerBuilder.com -- where employers can post internship positions and students can post resumes. The Detroit Regional Chamber will run the initiative and fund it through a WIRED grant, a federal economic-development program meant to develop a more highly skilled work force.
