On #NationalInternDay, we’re kicking off #InternInsights, a glimpse into the collaboration between #Transwestern interns and their mentors during the summer months. 🤝 Check out our first spotlight, Andrew Olivet! Mark Stratz #InternAppreciation #RealEstate #SummerIntern

As part of our #GRF Summer Seminar Series, our interns recently gained valuable insight from a few of our team members who pursued or are pursuing their education as a full-time professional. If you’re interested in pursuing a degree or certification while maintaining employment, here are 5 things to know about juggling a full-time school and work schedule.

The future is bright at Randolph Brooks Federal Credit Union! By welcoming interns into our organizations, companies gain several benefits: 💯 Fresh Perspectives: Interns often bring new ideas and approaches, helping the company stay innovative and adaptable to changing markets. 💯 Talent Pipeline: Developing interns can lead to full-time hires who are already familiar with the company culture and workflows, reducing future hiring costs and training time. 💯 Learning and Development: A culture of continuous learning is fostered, benefiting both the interns and existing employees through mentorship and knowledge exchange. 💯 Enhanced Employer Brand: Intern programs demonstrate a commitment to education and career development, making the company more attractive to future job seekers and enhancing its reputation. Supporting interns creates a mutually beneficial environment, promoting growth and innovation within the company while providing valuable experience for the interns. It was an absolute honor to be able to spend the afternoon with an incredibly talented future workforce. Their stories were inspiring, and their questions were truly thought provoking! Looking forward to witnessing their continued success! Mark, Sonya, Mary, Zachary, Robert, Edward, Barbara, Julie, Edward, Karen, Glenn, Jim, Casy, Dr. Steven L. Hall, Bob

A direct quote from the NACE Position statement: "Particularly troubling, NACE research has also found that all college students are not equitably represented in internships (Inequity in Internships, NACE, 2021). According to survey data, women, Black, Hispanic, and first-generation students were underrepresented in paid internships. In 2022, NACE followed up on that initial analysis and the internship data from 187 employers demonstrated nearly identical inequities. Again, women, Black, and Hispanic students were significantly underrepresented as a proportion of paid interns. Taken together, the research shows that white, male, and continuing generation students are disproportionally overrepresented in paid internships. Providing more paid internships for underrepresented populations will lead to greater access, opportunity, and success for participating students; help fill critical roles throughout the employment landscape; and lead to needed diversification of the workforce." Internships are a high-impact practice that colleges and universities should be paying significant attention to and identifying action steps to close equity gaps.

Need a more authentic, impactful way to attract and develop early careers talent? This example from global law firm Kennedys shows how they use video storytelling to connect with the next generation. Piggy-backing on public campaigns like National Apprenticeship Week, as well as regular real apprentice stories, amplifies their employer brand presence. These stories bring to life industry experience, skills learned, future goals plus advice for any potential applicants. It’s a powerful way to showcase the achievements of your apprentices!

This is a great example of inclusive organizational #leadership! While it’s not always possible to fly every FTE to every event, I applaud the 49ers for setting an example here — especially in the era of hyper-segmentation and favoritism amongst teams. Finding a way to acknowledge the contribution of all employees, whenever possible, goes a long way toward reducing silos, decreasing intra-office resentment, creating healthy workplace culture, and motivating folks to do their best work. #Superbowl #inclusion #culture #belonging
