U-M, Barton Malow receive awards for internship programs

The Detroit Regional Chamber has named some big local institutions and businesses as the winners of its first awards for the
InterninMichigan.com
program.
The
University of Michigan
won the Nonprofit Employer of the Year award for its Development Summer Internship Program. That program exposes students to careers in philanthropy through a 12-week paid internship that combines four days of work with weekly learning sessions in a related U-M philanthropy course, leadership development workshops, and retreats.
Southfield-based
Barton Malow
, a construction firm, was honored as the best private company. A
Wayne State University
student, Yan Isayev, was honored as Best Intern for his work at
Blue Cross Blue Shield
.
The
Detroit Regional Chamber
has been promoting internships as a way to staunch Michigan's brain drain. Research has shown that students are far more likely to stay in the area where they intern because that usually leads to job prospects after college.
To promote more internships in Metro Detroit the chamber has created a website,
InterninMichigan.com
, to pair potential interns with employers. So far the site has grown to 13,506 registered students and 1,079 Michigan employers.
