Laying the foundation for a career in construction! As a former Balfour Beatty intern, Carolinas Buildings Project Manager Dimelina Mora recently discussed what sets our internship program apart. Throughout their time with us, interns have the opportunity to get a true look into what a career in construction really looks like - from fostering client relationships to meeting real-world deadlines. #internship #BuildingNewFutures #construction

Many students cannot afford unpaid #internships as we all know, and we see this percent of unpaid internships holding relatively steady. If you can't do an all summer unpaid internship, we recommend micro internships that can be done during the school year remotely. We link our client universities with some of these options for their students to help with retention and career preparedness. #highered #careerreadiness #studentsuccess Follow us more more info on supporting higher ed.

Here is some great insight into the value of paid internships!

We know students need experience, but the quality of the experience matters. Paid interns receive more job offers after graduation than unpaid interns. If I had to guess, I would bet that paid internships often come with higher-impact work experiences for students, because employers want to invest in a role that will have a meaningful impact on their organization. In turn, paid interns end up in a stronger position on the job market, with meaningful examples of the results of their performance in the field. At Saxbys, we pay all our student team members, including our Student CEOs and VPs completing internships. It's just the right thing to do. It's also how we meaningfully invest in the impact these young leaders have on our mission and growth.
