Internships can introduce new talent and diversity into your recruiting pipeline, bring in fresh energy and new ideas, help mold the future professionals in your field, and establish your brand amongst college-aged students. Internships also offer incredible savings on recruitment, with some research citing a cost savings of $6000 for each intern-to-full-time hire instead of hiring outside of your organization.
In short, offering an internship program saves you money, brings in talent, and pays it forward through mentorship.
I can help you do the following to get an internship program up and running:
- Create an internship program from scratch or grow your current program
- Offer trainings for staff supervisors
- Consult on best practices such as legal issues, compensation, academic credit, supervision, and recruitment
- Develop policies, strategic plans, and timelines
