Here’s Mark’s weekly roundup of internships and jobs.

Research shows that students with internships are almost twice as likely to graduate college, have a 12 percent higher likelihood of being invited to job interviews, and earn 6 percent higher wages than non-interns once they graduate. However, some internships may lack structure and guidance which can weaken learning and job performance. University of Wisconsin-Madison researchers offer four strategies for designing effective internships for college students in The Conversation US.

With Virginia Intern Day and National Intern Day happening on July 25th, it is time to start planning how to celebrate interns at your organization! The goal is show interns how much their work and time is appreciated by your group. Here are some ideas to get started: 1) Buy them lunch at the local hotspot 2) Throw them a party 3) Offer them career advancement opportunities like a resume writing workshop 4) Take them to offsite activities like a museum tour or local sporting game Which of these options do you think your organization will do to celebrate interns? Is there something else on the agenda? Let us know how you are celebrating interns below! https://lnkd.in/eSybmirX use this link for more in-depth ideas! #VID2024

Why are we failing to prepare our students for their future? Data shows that over half of college graduates are considered "underemployed." This means that college graduates are more likely to be working in a job or career that does not require their level of education. Why is that? Some would say that we have too many students going to college. That's not the issue, although the cost for college has made the decision more questionable. Others would say that people are majoring in fields that are less relevant. That could be true. In reality, those who go to college and work or participate in internships within their field are much more likely to be healthily employed in their industry once the graduate. What should K-12 schools do? In short, aiming for all students to graduate and attend college is an admirable goal. However, not every child wants to be an academic. And many who do lack the social skills and real-life work ethic to make them ready for the real world. Ultimately, it is up to parents to help their children to mature and grow. But schools can help a lot too. Here's what I have found that works: 1. Have career or job fair days for your students, whether you are 5 or 18, this can be a lot of fun 2. Partner with local businesses for summer internships, especially for HS students 3. Invest in developing the whole child, this includes SEL, civics, and executive functioning learning 4. Understand our limitations, we can only do so much, but we can provide exposure to the real world by having projects, team work, and oral assessments to beyond just paper tests and writing 5. Provide trade and skill development, even from an early age Be creative, look at what others are doing, and really invest in your students. After all, only a small percentage will actually go off to college, graduate, and work in a field and career that is appropriate for their level of education. Article link: https://lnkd.in/eUgNkWjn
