As the talent pool dries up companies will have no choice but to more agreesively attack the source, colleges being one. I have noticed a trend in our startup clients setting up their headquartes on or close to college campuses. And colleges are building office space specifically for this purpose as well as offering Co-op porgrams. Virginia Tech did this - students would work 3 6 month co-ops across various semesters for a total of 18 months. With the Co-op program students and employeers would get a much better feel for one another and did not treat it lightly like some do internships.

They want to know, that when they invest their time in a company's internship program, that it's going to look just as great on their resume as their first job will...and if the internship has the probability of turning into a career option for them long term. *Internships are no longer the stereotypical plop me behind a copy machine and hope I can make a darn good cup of coffee.* These are green opportunities for even better opportunities - and a chance at a brighter future for many college graduates.
