Nominations Being Accepted for Outstanding Employer Internship Programs

News & Announcements Comments Off

The Milwaukee Area College Internship Consortium is pleased to announce its new award for Outstanding Employer Internship Programs!

The Milwaukee Area College Internship Consortium (MACIC) was established to foster collegiality and to support professionals, who work with internships in Wisconsin’s public, private, and technical colleges and universities, through educational forums and networking opportunities.

In an effort to honor employers and partners from business, industry, government and nonprofits, who have distinguished themselves by developing quality internship programs within their organizations that incorporate internship best practices, MACIC has developed the following awards:.

  • Outstanding Internship Program: Large Employers
  • Outstanding Internship Program: Small Employers (fewer than 100 employees)
  • Outstanding Internship Program: Nonprofit/Public Sector

Every member institution is encouraged to submit at least one nomination in this inaugural award year. Nomination materials can be found on the Members-Only Awards page.

Nomination materials should be submitted to MACIC by April 13, 2011. Winners will be announced at the 2011 MACIC Celebrating Internships Employer Appreciation Social on June 15, 2011.

Logo Design Competition for Students

News & Announcements Comments Off

As MACIC continues to grow and brand itself, it is time for the consortium to have a logo. And what better way to have a logo developed than having a talented student from a MACIC member institution create it!

MACIC would like a logo designed incorporating our new tag-line: Driving the Future Through Internships. Since MACIC member institutions include public and private institutions, we would like a logo that represents all members of the consortium equally. We plan on using the design on this website and on letterhead, shirts, stickers, and flyers.

Once a decision is made, we may request edits or alternate formats. We ask that all participants carefully read this Competition Submission Form for details. There will be one prize awarded in the amount of $100 to the student whose design is chosen.

Requirements:

  1. Participants must be a registered student at a college/university that is a current member of MACIC.
  2. Logo and Release Form must be received by Friday, April 1, 2011.

Please take time to review MACIC.org for additional ideas or inspiration. If you have any questions, please contact:

Connect with MACIC through Social Media

News & Announcements Comments Off

Beyond the MACIC website, you now have a couple of new ways to connect with the organization online.

First, connect with MACIC on LinkedIn. Up until this time, our LinkedIn group was for organization members only. Since this limits the power of our LinkedIn presence, it was determined at the February 11th Business Meeting to switch it to an open group. Now, members, non-members, and employers alike can share news and discuss internship issues through this forum. Join today!

MACIC has also joined the Twitterverse! With so many organizations active on Twitter, this opens a new avenue for MACIC to connect with local employers and with internship resources that would be useful to the students members work with. You can find and follow MACIC at twitter.com/MACIC_WI.

Finally, don’t forget that you can subscribe to the MACIC website’s news feed via email or feed reader (ex. Google Reader). Both subscription links can be found on MACIC.org along the right-hand column of the site.
