Why host an intern?

A fresh perspective

Interns bring ideas, and understandings of the latest trends and issues facing industry, gained through years of study in business disciplines.

Mentoring opportunities

Mentoring an intern is mutually beneficial. While students are exposed to the practices of an industry expert, your employees have the opportunity for professional development.

Filling a short term staffing need

Interns can be an extra resource to assist with short-term projects and increased productivity.

Growing your talent pool

Companies supporting interns tap into tomorrow's talent pool and access potential employees. Research shows that an average of 83% of industry graduate positions are filled by interns.
