The internNE, Powered by Aksarben initiative, previously recognized as the Intern Nebraska Grant Program (InternNE), is a $20 million collaborative effort between the Aksarben Foundation and the Nebraska Department of Economic Development. The program aims to connect students and employers statewide by reimbursing eligible internship expenses.
Now through November 30th, businesses have the opportunity to submit internship opportunities for award consideration for the first round of funding support (there will be 4 application review periods per year). Awarded internship opportunities will be available for students to apply beginning January 1, 2024.
Any help spreading the word to businesses to register and submit internship postings is greatly appreciated! Below are a few resources to assist with promotion:
