☀️ Securing a summer internship during your junior year is crucial as it often leads to full-time offers. 😔 However, recruitment timelines are moving earlier each year. 🍁 For instance, recruitment for the 2027 graduating class (2026 Summer Internships) begins next semester (Fall 2024). 👊 This means you need to start your preparation early to have a competitive edge. 💬 One crucial key is to network like your job depends on it (because it really does). 📲 Aim for at least 4 calls per week until Fall 2024. 📥 If you need guidance throughout the process, join the WSO Academy and we will help you get your offer >>> https://lnkd.in/gzuGm5m8

Since launching The Externship four years ago, we’ve heard from both large and small firms that they want to make their summer interns’ experiences meaningful, but they often don’t have the curriculum, time or personnel to truly invest in their internship programs. To support firms in training the next generation of talent, Amplified Planning has created the Internship/Externship Program. The Internship/Externship Program provides the tools for firms to use The Externship as a framework for their existing summer internship programs. How the Internship/Externship Program Works: 1. You utilize our guides and tools to set up and map out your interns’ summer internship. 2. Your Interns spend part of their workdays participating in the 8-week Externship program. They receive a certificate after completing each week’s curriculum, which you may request. 3. You can use our prompts to create in-house learning opportunities that complement The Externship and enhance your interns’ experience. 4. You all have a valuable internship experience! As part of the program, your receive the Financial Advisory Firm Toolkit with: ✔️BEST-PRACTICE CHECKLISTS – We identify the experiences and skills your interns need to learn, and how and when you should introduce them. ✔️RECOMMENDED CADENCES – We help you establish what your interns should be doing daily, weekly, and at the start and end of their internships. ✔️WEEK-TO-WEEK GUIDE – See what your interns are learning every step of the way.

Where’s the best place to start for an internship program (summer or semester)? Planning. 🗺 Planning an internship program goes beyond just sourcing the interns. It involves developing a solid plan, budgeting, defining roles, and how you will monitor progress. Taking a holistic approach and aligning the program with the needs of both the employer and the interns leads to successful outcomes. This is where I can help you! https://lnkd.in/eAw7EY2A  #StrategicPlanning #InternshipPrograms #peoplestrategy #MatsonMadridConsulting

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.

A new student survey found that paid interns received more job offers and higher starting pay after graduation than either unpaid interns or those who did not participate in an internship. ❓ Does your social work program support paid practicums? Image ID: The image shows a chart of data from the National Association of Colleges and Employers with 2 columns displaying the average number of job offers and the average starting salary and 3 rows titled Paid Interns, Unpaid Interns and Non-Interns.
