WHY EVERYBODY WINS!

Through internships, employers can find talented students to assist with necessary and important tasks. An internship is mutually beneficial. While employers provide the learning experience, students offer the necessary office, project, or department support. The cost to employers is minimal yet the rewards for the students are numerous. Interns provide employers with trained recruits already familiar with the corporate culture.

Many employers and agencies work with student interns to fulfill social and civic responsibility. They find gratification in providing students with important opportunities for intellectual, moral, ethical, career, and leadership development. Employers realize the immeasurable value an internship can provide for students.

Key Questions Employers Need to Ask Themselves When Considering Hosting Interns:

• Is the work appropriate for a college student?
• Will we be able to offer sufficient learning opportunities?
• Are available and qualified supervisors on site?
• Will we be able to provide appropriate resources to do the job?
• Are the required skills and responsibilities sufficiently challenging?
