Virtual school is good for Nebraska

$1.5M Nebraska Internship Program for college students

I am pleased to announce today the Talent and Innovation Initiative, a four-part plan designed to enhance our economic momentum.
1. I am proposing a Nebraska Internship Program to increase the number of college and university students interning with Nebraska businesses. This $1.5 million training program will be funded by redirecting resources from the Nebraska Job Training Cash Fund and matched by funds from the private sector.
2. I am proposing the creation of a $7 million program, the Business Innovation Act to leverage entrepreneurship, to increase private sector research and innovation, and to expand small business outreach efforts.
3. I am proposing the creation of a new $3 million Site and Building Development Fund to increase the number of sites and buildings available for business development projects.
4. I am proposing a $5 million Angel Investment Tax Credit Program to foster high-tech startups in Nebraska.
