A free online program that connects talented, eager college students and business people has been under way for a little while now.

The InternMatch program facilitates a quick way to match intern and internships for Pierce County businesses, colleges and students.

At www.internmatch.org, businesses can find a large pool of candidates from which to choose.

The program takes the guesswork out of locating potential businesses that offer the kind of internship needed to fulfill academic requirements or personal goals.
