Shaping the Global Marketplace
Students aren't the only ones who benefit from internships. Employers who hire interns can gain top talent and groom potential employees while providing them with a hands-on, true-to-life working experience.
An internship can be as valuable to an employer as it can be to the student. It is an excellent chance to recruit, work with and screen potential full-time employees. Internships can add value to a company's brand by heightening the organization's visibility on campus and enhancing its image throughout the community.

Legal Issues - Do You Pass the Test?
We want to ensure our students are not only getting the best internship experiences but are also being fairly compensated for their work. When hiring an intern, please consider the Department of Labor's Fair Labor Standard Act to determine whether an intern should be paid. Fact Sheet #71: Internship Programs Under The Fair Labor Standards Act, authored by the U.S. Department of Labor Wage and Hour Division, is a valuable resource to determine if your organization is passing the test for unpaid interns.
Additional information regarding paid internships can be found on the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE) website.
