We know two things are true: Students participate in internships because they want to get ready for life after graduation, and employers want to hire students with skills such as the ability to work in a team and communicate. This is why it’s so important to give your interns real work and have regular check-ins, whether it’s with an assigned mentor or through scheduled networking events. They’ll be happy with their experience, and you’ll have a better reputation on campus and a greater likelihood of converting your interns into full-time employees. It’s a classic win-win.
