Need a staff? Economy making it tough? HIRE INTERNS!
By David Mezzapelle
Due to the current economic climate, employers should consider hiring interns as a means of building a cost-effective staff that is also extremely motivated. Of course, GoliathJobs can manage that function for them (-:
The benefits are endless. Plus, as things improve, the better performing interns can fill permanent roles post-graduation.
“Internship” is a word that is often used to encompass employment while attending school (or during the summer). The internship is a means of gaining experience in the applicable field of study. Most of the time it implies receiving college credit, in lieu of pay, while gaining real-life experience. In other cases pay is received but at a reduced rate. If no credit is earned the pay scale is generally higher.
Employers benefit greatly. Here are a few of those benefits:
* When employers hire interns, it clearly displays the employer’s involvement in the local community. This is important for corporate development and civic duty.
* Interns are “bright-eyed” and motivated to learn. They want to gain experience towards their career and, quite frankly, need that experience to compete.
* Interns are cost-effective and flexible.
* Top Performers are spotted early and can be groomed for full-time employment later.
* Interns that are hired full time post-graduation have already learned your culture. No need to retrain.
* The surge in the 50+ population is reducing the amount of young people available to fill key roles. By hiring interns and retaining them full-time, you are protecting the long term growth of your workforce.
Hiring interns is no longer reserved for law or healthcare. Internships now exist across all industries including technology, business, education, skilled labor, hospitality and much more. Job seekers & employers have nothing to lose and everything to gain so consider internships today!
