Internship Template

Internships are a proven, long-term recruitment strategy.

 How will an internship program benefit you NOW? 

• An extra set of hands on-site means immediate support and manpower for your current projects. 
• Highly motivated and eager to learn, interns will bring fresh ideas and new perspectives to your workplace. 
• Their assistance can relieve full-time staff of some of their duties enabling them to focus on the next big initiatives for your company.
• Most importantly, internships provide your company the opportunity to screen a potential long-term candidate.

How will an internship program benefit you LATER? 

• Your intern can serve as a brand advocate on campus, generating a word-of-mouth public relations campaign to other students about your company. This can help enhance your company’s reputation and build brand awareness. 
• Students also have direct relationships with staff and key personnel which may help you with future recruiting efforts. 
• Internships can lead to full-time employment. Returning team members means lower training costs and employee turnover.
