My internship with the Nebraska Department of Economic Development has opened so many doors for me.  It has facilitated the development of my report writing, data analysis, project development, and business recruitment skills.  It has challenged by ability to think creatively, be a team player, and develop my interpersonal skills.  Moreover, my internship – like all well developed internship programs should do – prepared me to succeed in my career and personal life.  There is no better career choice a student can make than to do an internship in their industry of choice while in school.

I'm so impressed that Nebraska is offering such a great program.  What a wonderful way to give college students some real-life experience, and hopefully encourage them to work for a Nebraska company when they graduate.  We have an additional opening for an intern in Computer Science/Development.  I've attached an application.  Thanks, and have a great day.
