The Iowa Department of Economic Development (IDED) and Governor Chet Culver, awarded Midland Information Resources an Iowa Student Internship Program award for the summer of 2008.
The program is a matching funds award which targeted Iowa-based businesses with fewer than 500 employees, with a significant portion of those employed within the state of Iowa.

The intern is to be selected from any of Iowa’s private or public colleges (including community) or universities. The intern will work no less than 30 hours a week for a minimum of 8 weeks.
