Higher Ed and HR: Are Internships worth it?

Hi Jim,

We just finished compiling an infographic determining whether internships are a worthwhile endeavour or not for college students. Some of the interesting facts we uncovered: 
  • In 2011, over half of the internships were paid (approximated at 52%).
  • A college freshman intern makes $13.91 per hour on average. 
  • In 2011, 61.2% of employers made full-time offers to their interns, out of which 86.5% of the interns accepted. 
  • 61% of paid interns received job offers compared to 38% of unpaid interns.
  • Online networking (Facebook, LinkedIn, etc) was pointed out as the least affective method of recruitment. 
I hope you will take a look at the infographic and share any feedback you might have. Also, as always, feel free to republish any of the information on Castagnera on Higher Ed.

Mu.
