The value of internships, both to organizations and students is well-known. For organizations, a strong intern program can maintain a pipeline of highly qualified candidates for full-time roles. Internships and other forms of experiential education help students make a seamless transition to the world of work and are a perfect vehicle to increase retention rates, complete short-term projects, and identify future hires.

The Internship Program Success Academy helps organizations of all sizes build, advance and enhance successful internship programs. The workshop is based on the most in-depth research ever to be conducted into the successful management of internship programs and you can be assured that participants will leave the event with a newfound approach to internships.

This highly interactive academy includes detailed statistics from proprietary research. Qualitative and quantitative responses will be shared from The National Internship and Co-op Study – a detailed examination of what makes internship programs successful based on the responses of over 225,000 students from more than 500 universities.

WHAT PARTICIPANTS ARE SAYING…

Miranda Miles - Oatly

"The Total Internship Management Workshop was incredible! I really appreciated that the day began by opening the floor to questions the participants would like addressed and the instructor took time to cover each point. Regardless of where your company is at building out an internship, this can help you take it to the next level."

"This workshop was recommended to me by a coworker, and I am so glad it was. The workshop advertised helping intern managers grow and improve their program, so I was concerned it wouldn't be for me as I was starting at ground zero. However, especially if you do not currently have an active internship program, I would highly recommend this workshop. I was given the information and resources to start from the beginning, and to build an internship program with a high ROI right off the bat."

"Don't think twice about registering! Go! The opportunity to learn and network at the workshop is worth it. I went in with an internship program that we felt was pretty solid. After the workshop, not only did I feel more confident in our program (got lots of validation that we're headed the right way), I picked up numerous tips on how to strengthen and support our program as we continue to grow.

“The Total Internship Management Course was immensely helpful in empowering us to launch our internship program with confidence. We've had extremely positive responses from both the mentors and the interns. We're on our 3rd semester of interns and all have given us rave reviews, recommended us to friends and contributed in a meaningful way to our organization. If your internship program could use some help or if you're looking to launch one from the ground up - I highly recommend attending a Total Internship Management workshop in your area!”

LB Testimonial

“The Total Internship Management workshop was an amazing course for Intern Managers who need assistance with developing, solidifying, or even fine-tuning their internship programs. I began the course with little to no knowledge of how to manage my interns, and within a week, I have created a full 15-week internship program with the knowledge, tools, and resources from this course! Dr. Robert is an amazing facilitator. I would recommend this course to EVERYONE!”

AC Testomonial

“Prior to participating in the Total Internship Management Workshop, we welcomed interns to join our team, however, did not have a structured program. We quickly realized we needed to create a true “learning environment” for our interns to develop and grow and while giving them an excellent experience. We continue to have success with our program, adopting new ideas and strategies, a result of the foundation we built with through the Total Internship Management Program!”

“I’ve personally recruited, trained, and developed hundreds of successful college interns throughout the course of my career and I honestly didn’t think I’d get much out of this workshop – boy was I wrong! Whether your goal in hiring interns is to provide a path for them to potentially join your firm full-time or you just want to ensure you’re following the letter of the law, I would highly recommend attending The Total Internship Management Workshop as soon as possible.”

“The Total Management Workshop was time well spent. The format with the employers and academic contacts all in one room is fantastic. The table discussions and the group facilitation with an expert on the topic is terrific. In a sense, it was like a focus group with a captive audience and I came away with some key information on topics that were important to me and our organization.”

Five (5) reasons why you should host the Internship Program Success Academy for employer partners:

HRCI & SHRM-PDC Accredited – Getting these CEU’s is critical for HR professionals. Six (6) hours of this type of credit can cost up to $1500. We offer this for a fraction of that.
Community Building – At each of the workshops we present, we engage the local SHRM Chapters, the local Chamber of Commerce regional Economic Development initiatives and other business related organizations. We find that usually 30 to 40% of the attendees are not currently actively recruiting at the school that hosts the workshop.
The Content of the Workshop – Our methodology focuses on meeting the employer where they are and helping them to develop a framework for success by focusing on the “variables” that lead to an effective outcome. We have found that by focusing on the “variables” we can help them to create more systemic programs.
The Experience – the structure of the workshop is very engaging. We do not just tell them about how to develop, grow sustain or enhance their internships – they actually spend time working with each other to build a plan that they can put into place as soon as they get bac to the office.
It’s “low stress” on you and your team – there is very little that you are responsible for other than securing the location and sending invites to your employer partners. We contact the chambers and SHRM chapters. We handle all of the customer service inquiries. We take care of the catering.
