Bridging the Gap: The Power of School-to-Work Programs in Shaping Future Careers The transition from classroom learning to the professional realm can often be daunting for students in the fast-paced world of education and employment. School-to-work programs stand as a beacon of opportunity, offering a bridge between academic knowledge and real-world experience. One of the primary benefits of school-to-work programs is their ability to provide students with real-world experience in their chosen field. By participating in internships, apprenticeships, or cooperative education programs, students gain firsthand insight into the day-to-day realities of various professions. School-to-work programs offer students the opportunity to explore different career paths and industries before committing to a particular career trajectory. Through hands-on experience and exposure to diverse work environments, students can identify their interests, strengths, and passions more effectively. This exploration phase is invaluable in helping students make informed decisions about their future education and career goals. Participating in school-to-work programs allows students to develop a wide range of skills essential for success in the workforce. From communication and teamwork to problem-solving and adaptability, students acquire practical skills that are highly sought after by employers. Moreover, these programs provide students with valuable networking opportunities, allowing them to connect with industry professionals and mentors who can offer guidance and support as they navigate their career paths. This program facilitates a seamless transition from education to employment by providing students with the skills, experience, and connections needed to secure meaningful employment opportunities. Employers often view graduates of these programs favorably, as they are already equipped with relevant experience and a demonstrated commitment to their chosen field. This can give students a competitive edge in the job market and increase their chances of landing a job upon graduation. As this represents a vital link between education and employment, it offers students the opportunity to gain practical experience, explore career options, and develop essential skills for success in the workforce etc. By bridging the gap between academia and industry, these programs empower students to pursue their passions, achieve their career goals, and make meaningful contributions to society.

**The Importance of Supported Internships for Employers** In today's competitive business landscape, finding and retaining top talent is more crucial than ever. One effective yet often overlooked strategy is the implementation of supported internships. These programs offer significant benefits to employers, making them a valuable investment for the future of any company. **1. Access to Fresh Talent and Ideas** Supported internships open the door to a pool of motivated and enthusiastic individuals eager to contribute. Interns bring fresh perspectives and innovative ideas that can invigorate your workplace and drive creativity. Their up-to-date knowledge from education can also introduce new techniques and technologies to your business. **2. Cost-Effective Recruitment** Internships serve as an extended interview process, allowing employers to assess potential long-term employees without the immediate commitment of a full-time hire. This can reduce recruitment costs and ensure a better fit for both the intern and the organisation. Interns who transition to full-time roles are often more productive and require less training, leading to cost savings. **3. Enhanced Company Reputation** Offering supported internships demonstrates a company’s commitment to workforce development and community engagement. This can enhance your reputation as an employer of choice, attracting high-caliber candidates. Additionally, it reflects positively on your corporate social responsibility efforts, showcasing your investment in the future workforce. **4. Development of Leadership Skills** Internships provide opportunities for current employees to mentor and lead interns. This mentorship fosters leadership and management skills among your staff, preparing them for higher responsibilities. It also creates a collaborative and supportive work environment, which can improve overall employee satisfaction and retention. **5. Potential for Innovation** Interns often work on specific projects or problems, providing focused and innovative solutions. Their fresh perspective and recent academic knowledge can lead to breakthroughs that your current team might overlook. This potential for innovation can give your company a competitive edge in the market. If you’re not yet convinced of the benefits, we invite you to check out this insightful video that highlights the transformative impact supported internships can have on both interns and employers. See firsthand how these programs can be a win-win for your organization and the broader community.

What’s involved in Supported internships ❓ ✅Supported internships are a structured, work-based study programme ✅The core aim of a supported internship study programme is a substantial work placement, facilitated by the support of an expert job coach. ✅Supported interns are enrolled and supported by a learning provider, for example, a school or college, but spend most of their learning time - typically around 70% - in a workplace. ✅The internships provide the opportunity for young people to achieve sustained, paid employment by equipping them with the skills they need for work, through learning in the workplace. ✅The supported internship should contribute to the long-term career goals of the young person and match their capabilities. ✅Every young person is supported in the work placement by a trained job coach. The job coach provides in-work support that tapers off, if appropriate, as the supported intern becomes familiar with their role. ✅Job coaches also work with employers, increasing their confidence in employing individuals with additional needs and helping them to create and support a diverse workforce.

Internship participation has decreased in recent years despite the increasing demand for practical skills. Only 48% of seniors complete internships, according to The National Survey of Student Engagement (2022). This rate varies across institutions, being higher in elite universities; however, at the City College of New York, where most students receive Pell Grants, only 35-40% typically complete internships before graduation. This raises concerns about the accessibility of internships in higher education. This disconnect not only affects graduate employability but also limits the return on investment for educational degrees. Our recent article explores this issue further, providing insights and stats on the gap between internship participation and hiring trends.

Today is move-in day for our summer Academic Internship Program at The Washington Center - an exciting time for #college students from all over the nation to #intern in #nonprofit, #government, and #business roles in almost every imaginable type of career path. A 10-week intensive time to gain #careerskills in a real-world #workplace environment where they will build #networks, solve problems and start to imagine their #career journeys. But... Did you know just 10% of #communitycollege grads and 25% of undergraduates have had access to a paid #internship experience? That's why at TWC, we are committed to 100% paid internships by 2025! And according to a recent report from Strada Education Foundation, it's even gotten worse for recent grads: 52% are considered UNDERemployed (that's up from 41% just two years ago in 2022!). As Andrew Hanson shared with our Board of Trustees recently, this is a systemic, national challenge - and one that can be solved with the right set of policies and interventions. At The Washington Center, we are passionate about creating different modalities and lengths of programs so students and learners can gain the #workbasedlearning and #careerconnectedskills they need to thrive in the #postCOVID #workforce. We know that #coaching and #mentoring go a long way towards building the #socialcapital learners will need as they enter the #jobmarket to thrive. Having met a lot of the students as they checked in to our building today, I'm impressed with their energy and can't wait to see all they accomplish. I remain filled with hope yet am also determined to #scale more #opportunities in other formats for more access for students who can't participate in a semester or summer long program. If we are serious about closing the gaps, #highered, #employers, #policymakers and orgs like mine must be committed to providing access to programs for all students that lead to quality jobs and #economicmobility. #workforcedevelopment #firstjob #graduation #internship #summerinterns
