  1. How do I register for a free Missouri Intern Connect account?

    On the home page, click "Login/Register" in the upper right-hand corner of your screen. You will be required to select an account type, and should select "Organization." In order to ensure your company is not already registered, the system will request you enter your organization's name. Slowly type your organization's name in the text box and a list will populate below. If you see your organization in the dropdown list, that means there is an existing account. Click on your organization's name. Some of the registration fields will disappear because Missouri Intern Connect already has your organization's information on the site. A registered user from your organization will be notified of your request and will review your information to confirm your account.

    If the system does not find your organization registered with Missouri Intern Connect, simply complete the registration form. Be sure to select "Employer" as the organization type. Your registration will be sent to Missouri Intern Connect to review and approve. Once a staff member approves your account, you will be able to post internships and search for interns.

    If you have not gained full access to the site in 48 hours, contact us at Info@MOInternConnect.com.

  2. How does the system work?

    Missouri Intern Connect is a high-tech and high-touch system, built to enhance opportunities for individuals seeking internships and employers searching for interns. The high-tech portion allows employers to access the intern candidate database, advanced search features and the ability to contact students.

    Additionally, Missouri Intern Connect offers high-touch services that enable you to receive personal assistance, customized tools and much more.

  3. Are there any resources offered to employers?

    Missouri Intern Connect provides a variety of assessment forms, access to best practice information on internships and a real person behind the scenes reviewing your internship openings.  

  4. I registered. Why can’t I post an internship?

    In order to provide the best possible service to students, Missouri Intern Connect reviews every new organization registration. Until a staff member approves your organization and grants you full access to the site, you will not be able to post internships. If you are joining an existing account, a registered user needs to grant you access before you can post internships.

    After an internship's start date has passed, its status will change to "Expired." It will no longer be visible to students. You can fix this in three ways:

    • Change the internship's start date to a date in the future.
    • Make the position inactive by clicking the internship's title in your workspace. Then select "Inactive" from the "Status" dropdown menu.
    • Mark the position as filled. See question #25 for instructions.

  16. How will I know when a student has applied to my internship?

    You will receive an email each time a student applies for your internship. You will be able to see a list of applicants in the "Applicants" box in your workspace.

  17. Am I required to hire an intern for the positions that I post?

    No. If you do not find an intern that matches your interests or needs, you are not required to accept an intern via our site.

  18. Where can the internships be located?

    Missouri Intern Connect lists internship opportunities throughout the state of Missouri. The website allows you to search for internships by county or region. While some companies may have out of state locations, only Missouri internships will be approved for posting on Missouri Intern Connect.

  21. How can I access a specific applicant’s information?

    1. Click on "Login/Register," and log-in with your username and password.
    2. Scroll down on your dashboard to find the list of applicants.
    3. Click on the person's name.
    4. Click "Download Resume" located in the grey box on the right side of the page, or at the bottom of the white box containing the applicant's information. If you do not see the "Download Resume" links on the applicant's profile, they might not have a resume uploaded. You may contact the student to request his or her resume.

  22. How can I contact an applicant?

    You can contact an applicant by the phone number or email address provided in his or her profile. You can also contact a student through our in-site messaging system. Simply click "Contact This Intern" at the bottom of the student's profile.

  23. A student says he/she is on the website, but I cannot find them.

    After six months of inactivity, student accounts become inactive making it impossible for them to be visible on the site. Students may reactivate their account simply by logging in. If you need more assistance, contact us at Info@MOInternConnect.com and provide us with the student's name. We will work to resolve the issue.

  24. I’m not having luck finding an intern. What can I do?

    Make sure that you have completely filled out your internship's description. The more specific its description, requirements and responsibilities are, the easier it is for students to find you. You can do this by clicking your internship's name located in the "Internships" portion of your dashboard. Then click the "Description" tab to make edits.

    Remember that the search for an intern can work both ways! Just as students can use the site to find you, you can use it to find them. Utilize the "Advanced Intern Search" in your dashboard to search for interns by keyword, school, major, location and more.

    If you still are not able to find a match, contact us at Info@MOInternConnect.com, and we will be more than happy to assist you.

  25. What happens when I find an intern?

    That's great you found an intern! Because the state looks to us for internship metrics, we ask that internships be marked as filled on the web site whether or not the students were found through Missouri Intern Connect.

    In order to mark the position as filled, click the green silhouette with a plus sign to the right of the internship's title in your dashboard. Then, fill in the student's name, school, expected start date and expected end date.

  26. I want to post the same internship. How may I do that?

    If you would like to re-post the same internship at a later date, click the two pieces of paper located to the right of the internship's title in your dashboard. This will duplicate the previous internship opening.* Modify any of the internship's details, and make sure to update the start and end dates. Select "Active" in the "Status" dropdown menu to make the internship visible on the site once it's saved.  

    If you use an old description and just change the dates, your apprenticeship posting will not automatically post to Twitter, LinkedIn or Facebook.
