Thank you for your interest Rowan-Cabarrus Community College\u2019s Work-Based Learning internship program. If you are interested in hosting an intern, here is our process:<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_toggle title=”Benefits” open_toggle_text_color=”#f6a800″ open_toggle_background_color=”rgba(0,0,0,0)” closed_toggle_text_color=”#002f6d” closed_toggle_background_color=”rgba(0,0,0,0)” icon_color=”#002f6d” open_icon_color=”#002f6d” admin_label=”Benefits” module_class=”et_pb_toggle_page” _builder_version=”4.16″ title_font_size=”20″ title_line_height=”1.4em” background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” border_color_all=”#ffffff” use_border_color=”on” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n 1. Find future employees<\/strong>. An internship program is a year-round recruiting tool\u2026implementing an internship program means you have an ongoing pipeline of future full-time employees. For many, the process of recruiting and hiring is a drain on company resources. One solution: Appeal to tomorrow’s staff members when they’re looking for internships, and all you have to do is choose the best of the bunch when it comes time to hire.<\/p>\n 2. Test-drive the talent<\/strong>. It’s a human resources reality: A new employee makes a solid impression in the interview, but then just doesn’t gel with your current team or your company’s way of doing things. When you “try out” candidates via a semester or summer internship, you make fewer mistakes when it comes to full-time staffing; you avoid the pitfall of training a new hire, only to find out they’re not a fit for your organization\u2026or that the entry-level employee doesn’t like the field.<\/p>\n 3. Increase productivity<\/strong>. Speaking of additional manpower, setting up an internship program allows you to take advantage of short-term support. The extra sets of hands help your employees be more productive, prevent them from becoming overburdened by side projects, as well as free them up to accomplish more creative tasks or those where higher-level, strategic thinking or expertise is required.<\/p>\n 4. Increase employee-retention rate<\/strong>. The proof for the test-driving theory is in the positive employee-retention figures: According to NACE’s 2009 Experiential Education Survey, almost 40% of employers reported a higher five-year retention rate among employees they’d hired via their internship programs.<\/p>\n 5. Enhance perspective<\/strong>. It’s not just the extra sets of hands that make interns advantageous. Especially in an organization of only 12 or 15 employees, new people bring with them novel perspectives, fresh ideas, and specialized strengths and skill sets. These augment the abilities of your professional workforce.<\/p>\n 6. Give back to the community<\/strong>. As a small business, you likely rely on community support. Creating an internship program is an excellent way to give back. Hiring interns not only helps students in your community get started; it enhances the local workforce as a whole.<\/p>\n 7. Support students<\/strong>. Internships provide students numerous perks: They gain experience, develop skills, make connections, strengthen their resumes, learn about a field, and assess their interest and abilities.<\/p>\n (from Internships.com<\/em>)<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_divider color=”#002f6d” divider_weight=”1px” disabled_on=”on|on|off” _builder_version=”4.16″ height=”3px” hide_on_mobile=”on” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_toggle title=”Building an Internship Program” open_toggle_text_color=”#f6a800″ open_toggle_background_color=”rgba(0,0,0,0)” closed_toggle_text_color=”#002f6d” closed_toggle_background_color=”rgba(0,0,0,0)” icon_color=”#002f6d” open_icon_color=”#002f6d” admin_label=”Building” module_class=”et_pb_toggle_page” _builder_version=”4.16″ title_font_size=”20″ title_line_height=”1.4em” background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” border_color_all=”#ffffff” use_border_color=”on” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n\n
