Wow! internshipIN was just listed as one of Inc Magazine’s “Coolest College Startups.” On the night that internshipIN was conceived, we had the goal of helping just a few students in finding their first internships. Little did we know that internshipIN would earn recognition as a cool, up and coming startup.

We’re flattered, but we won’t let the onslaught of press distract us. With internship season underway, we’ve been working to bring a wider array of internship opportunities to the website. Our newest feature set gives student members a list of the top 10 most relevant internships, based on their skills and interests.

Hey guys!

So sorry about the time off on the blog. Jess, Andy and I were taken over by midterms.

The good news is we got right back to work and internshipIN is officially here!!

We have just launched private beta for all employers! What this means is a selective group of startups can set up a company profile and post their internship opportunities today.

In short, these companies will be have first dibs on the hundreds of students who come in.

PS We have some REALLY cool features coming up in the next couple of weeks. My eyes glitter when I think about them.

So, we realized too many students were settling on internship opportunities simply because they were gaining “work experience”. I don’t know about you, but I think that is a little backwards. If I am pursuing my dream job and I need work experience to land that job, shouldn’t I seek out my dream internship? We think so! Which is exactly why we built an awesome tool for employers to sell their internship opportunities to students (and soon vice versa).

We thought it would be cool to name it internshipIN.
(It works as both verb and noun. “I was internshipin’ yesterday…” Get it? :) )

Just for a sneak peek, I had to tell you one of our coolest features that will be available when we launch. Ready… drumroll…. Company Profile Pages!! Does your company go kayaking every month? Any sweet perks that would make a student smile/laugh/do happy dances? More importantly, do you know what exact skills students will get from working for you?? This information fits perfectly in your company’s internshipIN profile page!

Awesome, right? We hoped you would like it. If this sounds like internship matchmaking heaven to you, feel free to sign up for our beta launch coming soon!
