What Employers Need to Know To Develop A Successful Internship Program
Developing a quality internship program within your organization is key to utilizing the wide range of talent that undergraduate and graduate college students possess. These students comprise the workforce of tomorrow and by offering them opportunities to gain experience while still in college, organizations will improve their odds of hiring competent, intelligent, and experienced professionals who are ready to take over when management and skilled employees retire.
Experience.com offers employers suggestions and advice in their just released white paper, “How to Recruit for and Manage an Effective Internship Program.”
“We’re entering a time of transition in the workplace as baby boomers are going to be retiring in droves, creating a need for college-educated, entry-level talent like never before,” explains Jennifer Floren, founder and CEO of Experience, Inc., “Employers need to start planning ahead to fill these positions and internships are the best way to build a pipeline of talented, young professionals. Interns with direct work experience will easily populate entry-level positions, and with proper training can fill management gaps as well.”
“The market for the best and brightest students is the most competitive I’ve ever seen,” says Dan Black, Director of Campus Recruiting for Ernst & Young. His sentiment is echoed, as 81% of employers sourced for the research observed that new hires with relevant internship experience are better prepared than those without internships, resulting in a custom-made candidate pool.
