Businesses and nonprofits across Nebraska are signing up with a new state effort to get college students working, and then sticking around after graduation.
At least 79 businesses have applied for Intern Nebraska funding, and 45 have been approved, Gov. Dave Heineman said Monday.
One of those companies, said Richard Baier, director of the Department of Economic Development, is Green Bein' Productions Inc., a Lincoln-based online production company that recently launched an online virtual gaming world called Kid Command, which teaches children about the environment.
"For the companies, this is a perfect opportunity to learn about future employees and how good they're going to be," Heineman said.
Now, the state has a website to provide information and internship listings for the college students who qualify -- internNE.com.
