Missouri Intern Connect exists to build a bridge between employers and tomorrow’s workforce.

Established by the Missouri Chamber of Commerce and Industry in 2018, this service helps Missouri students gain valuable career experience while simultaneously giving employers better access to the talent they need for tomorrow’s economy.

Missouri Intern Connect is a product of the Missouri Chamber’s Missouri 2030 strategic initiative.
