The Nebraska Department of Economic Development (DED) is comprised of people who love Nebraska. Our mission is to attract and retain businesses and talented people throughout this great state. We know that living in Nebraska is a Good Life that provides great opportunity.
We are an agency of about 70 people within the State of Nebraska government. This position would be shared between our Recruitment and Talent Development divisions helping us showcase Nebraska as both a great place to do business and the best place to live, work, play and stay. We are looking for a student who is excited to support our Recruitment and Talent Development mission by developing a social media strategy and design that promotes Nebraska to people and businesses within and outside of Nebraska. A successful intern will be someone who is enthusiastic about learning more about what makes Nebraska great and finding the best way to tell Nebraska’s story.
We are looking for a Social Media/Marketing intern to join the Department of Economic Development! This internship will go through May 2021 and may be extended based on performance and business needs. We are looking for a student who can commit to working between 18 and 25 hours, at least 3 days a week. DED office hours are M-F 8am to 5pm. We will be flexible with the student’s class schedule and would like his internship to start on March 2, 2020.
