Internship programs are the quintessential win-win for employers and interns alike. These programs provide employers with fresh ideas and new excitement and interns can gather essential knowledge that will help them in their career path.

Preliminary data from the Agriculture and Food HR Review notes that nearly 70% of employers are looking to utilize interns as an additional staffing solution to meet business demands. Because interns can play such a crucial role in helping organizations meet their goals, it is important to make the most of each intern your organization has.  In addition, having a reputable and successful internship program can help your company build a pipeline of qualified talent.

 

AgCareers.com offers a unique survey that is aimed specifically at capturing data from interns to give feedback to the company. This survey is offered to interns at the beginning of the internship and then a subsequent report is given back to the organization.  This allows your company to make real-time modifications to your program.  There is also a second part of the survey that is administered at the end of the internship program. A final report is given to each participating company so they can see how their internship program stacks up to the rest. 

 

The level of competition for talent is fierce and this survey can help your organization ensure they are providing the best experience to the employee and then, in turn, can provide an engaging and productive environment. 

 

If you are offering an internship program this year, it is not too late to take part in this year’s survey.  If you would like to learn more, please visit our Internship Program Benchmark Survey page or contact your AgCareers.com Talent Solutions Representative.
