I happened to chat recently with some people from the startup Handshake:

https://www.joinhandshake.com/

It's founded by 3 graduates of Michigan Tech University, a small but well-regarded school that even other Michiganders think is far north. Their goal is to level the playing field for internships and first jobs.

It was great to meet people so sincere about solving this problem.

Thats an admirable goal. I hope it continues to be developed, my experience so far is that it's just a less functional LinkedIn clone.
