Your organization is committed to virtual internships – What does that mean for you as the intern supervisor?
Long gone are the days of busy work for interns. Internships, virtual or on-premise, are a smart investment both for the organization and the intern with longstanding rewards when executed properly. Therefore, taking full advantage is a critical business need. Let’s face it: talent acquisition has changed, and “top talent” starts out in the top internship programs.
The research is clear – one of the key factors in a highly ranked internship is an excellent internship supervisor. In fact, 93% of students surveyed who reported working with effective supervisors would return to the host organization for full-time employment.
