Aksarben Foundation Partners with Department of Economic Development on Internship Initiative to Grow Nebraska’s Workforce
30 May 2023
news
Today, Governor Jim Pillen announced a partnership between the Nebraska Department of Economic Development (DED) and the Aksarben Foundation to create and lead a new internship program to strengthen Nebraska’s workforce. Over the past year, Nebraska’s job creation has outpaced the rest of the Midwest and most of the nation, resulting in plentiful opportunities for career advancement. However, many employers are generating jobs faster than they can fill them. The newly formed partnership—InternNE, Powered by Aksarben—aims to better train and retain young Nebraskans to bolster the state’s skilled workforce.
“The State’s workforce development strategy begins with recruiting our own backyard,” said Gov. Pillen. “We want our graduates to stay in Nebraska to start a career here in the Good Life. Our redesigned internship program makes it easier than ever for employers to provide opportunities for talented students to launch their careers in Nebraska.”
