These opportunities may be a creative solution for both professional and employer to job placement and advanced post-graduate training. This process has been utilized by the business community for many years and dates back to apprenticeships.
Internships are an effective and efficient recruiting tool.
Most student asked, explicitly sought an internship that could lead to a permanent position after graduation. Internships are an effective way for students to get a foot in the door at a company potentially reducing the amount of time they have to spend on a job search during their final year of school. For an internship program to do what it should building positive, long-term relationships with potential permanent hires it must address the needs of the students and new grads. This means offering them opportunities to gain experience and build networks. Other perks, such as trips and parties will certainly sweeten the experience, but they're far from the most important attributes of an internship program.
