Build Your Future Talent Pipeline
Internships are one of the most effective ways to recruit and retain future employees. According to the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE), 63.1% of interns accepted full-time positions with their internship employer—the highest conversion rate in five years. The long-term benefits continue after hiring: more than 75% of former interns remain with their employer after one year, and more than half are still with the organization after five years, significantly outperforming employees who did not intern with the company.
