Does your intern program stack up?

Intern programs can provide your company with an early opportunity to gauge the talents of a new generation of workers and, in many cases, sell your company as a quality place for students to begin their careers after they graduate. 

They also provide unparalleled experiential learning opportunities for students as pre-professionals seeking to boost their knowledge and competencies.

To get the most out of an internship program, you might consider providing interns with real work, hold orientations, provide a handbook or training website, offer scholarships and (as a relocation company, dare we say...) consider providing housing and relocation assistance.

The ultimate goal is to create a win-win situation for both the company and the intern!
