Join us as we celebrate National Intern Day on July 25th, to honor and thank hardworking interns. The day aims to recognize their achievements, increase efficiency within businesses, raise employee morale, and fortify working connections. National Intern Day is celebrated every year on the last Thursday of July. It was created in 2017 by Way Up, an employment site and mobile app for college students and recent grads, to acknowledge interns' often unappreciated labor and inspire businesses to create meaningful internship programs.
Ways to support your interns for National Internship Day:
1. Give a Personalized Note: Simple thank-you notes can go a long way, especially when they are personalized, delivered at the right time, and in the right context. Interns thank-you notes are valuable not only on National Intern Day but at any time. Personalized notes make the recipient feel recognized, acknowledged, and appreciated, while also encouraging more productive behavior in the future. You could even consider including a Perk Up reward with your thank-you note, which is a pre-loaded Visa card that allows employees to choose their own incentives.
2. Reward Your Interns with Gifts: National Intern Day is a perfect occasion to celebrate and reward employees for their hard work. Consider rewarding your interns with gifts such as mugs, jackets, hats, shirts, wireless earbuds, flowers, or candles based on their interests and likes.
3. Team Breakfast or Lunch: Sharing a meal with employees and interns is a great way to bring teams together. You could arrange for food to be delivered to the office, have teams have lunch outside the office, or have a meal with just the interns themselves. You can also take interns out for breakfast or lunch with their direct managers or leadership team to reflect on their accomplishments and work performance while answering any career questions they might have.
