Internships will help you gain time! 

•   Imagine you have a supervisor who has one intern.  That supervisor allocates two hours of supervision for that one intern who works 20 hours per week each.  For your 2 hours of supervision, you would get 20 hours of work time – the ROI is ten-fold!

Internships will help you improve recruitment!

•   Student interns are a great recruiting tool and a demonstrated way to test out potential full-time, permanent employees.  More than 50% of interns return after graduation as a full-time employee to the company where they interned.

•   Employers have an experienced, tested pool of students from which to pull for full-time work forces.

•   Lower cost-per- hire and lower turn-over rates.  Surveys show that employers hired more than 70% of their interns for full-time employment. More than one third of employers with internship programs reported higher retention rates up to five years post-hire.

Interns can complete project work and increase your organizations productivity!

•   Interns can get work off the “back-burner”!  They can do everything from support marketing efforts and operational needs to gather business intelligence and augment work for clients and partners.

•Interns can free up salaried staff to do high-level tasks.

Internships help you broaden your capabilities!

•   Interns often possess content knowledge and technical skills that full-time employees may not.  Such as: computer skills, research capabilities, writing abilities, and insights about the latest academic methodologies.

•   Interns can bring a fresh, structured approach to business that is not always evident in seasoned employees.

Internships will inject enthusiasm!

•   “The natural eagerness of truly serious students to get into the “real world” and practice some part of what they learned makes them a genuine asset almost immediately.”Tim Ritter, VP of Universal Protective Packaging
