Small technology companies could get help hiring interns through a proposed program aimed at strengthening ties between businesses and universities.
Under a General Assembly bill, the Maryland Technology Internship Program would give 40 small businesses up to $3,000 a year to hire interns. The bill (HB1317) to create the program was approved by the state House of Delegates and is being considered by the Senate. If approved, Gov. Martin O’Malley would need to authorize funding for the program, estimated at $190,000 in fiscal 2015.
