Happy Wednesday! Today, I'm excited to share some research our staff here at Thrive Scholars has found on how internships are pivotal for post-graduation outcomes. The Center for Research on College-Workforce Transitions (CCWT), led by internship expert Dr. Matt Hora, released a report (found here: https://lnkd.in/gjQwpXN2) summarizing the three wave College Internship Study’s key findings about internship participation, access, and outcomes. Three key outcome results that matter for us include: 1) graduates who participated in at least one paid internship have the highest rate of employment after graduation 2) those who completed at least one internship during college were about three times more likely to be in the mid-to-high income group rather than the lowest income group 3) graduates with an internship experience were almost three times more likely to enroll in graduate school than participate in the labor market. (which also helps the labor market by hiring in more highly educated candidates - ones that also have real world experience via their internship experience(s)!) Internships matter—and we focus on supporting our Scholars to them each summer, with 73% of the upcoming college class of 2024 and 69% of the college class of 2025 having participated in an internship this summer. We rely on our corporate partners to help share this message, and others, with our scholars. Want to help the next generation of top-performing, high-achieving, diverse candidates? Let's talk and help these amazing individuals better understand career paths ahead of them. #careerdevelopment #industryexploration #futureleaders
