Newsletter ArticleU.S. agricultural employers report that a formal internship program is their most effective method to attract students to new graduate roles. But we need to take a step back—how do you attract those students for internships in the first place? How do you ensure a successful internship? Then, how do you convert them to full-time hires?
AgCareers.com’s mission is feeding the world with talent, with college students being essential to this pipeline. Campus recruitment has transformed over the past two years. AgCareers.com is here to assist agricultural and food employers in connecting with and hiring students for internships and entry-level roles. First, you can join us for the US Collegiate Virtual Career Fair on February 2, connecting with students from across the country.
We’re also kicking off our trifecta of collegiate programs with the new Student Recruitment Bundle, which includes a free registration for our Internship Programs for Success Workshop (a $299 value) with purchase. Here’s how AgCareers.com can help with student recruitment:
#1 The first part of the bundle is the AgCareers.com Ag & Food Career Guide for students and young professionals. This digital & print magazine shares helpful career advice and features profile pages for employers actively recruiting. Start establishing your employment brand with an advertisement in the guide.
#2 The second segment of the bundle focuses on internships. Any agricultural employer can begin by posting internship opportunities on AgCareers.com for free. Yes, we post internships for free! Next, let us survey your interns when you take part in the Internship Program Benchmark. We do the heavy lifting, surveying your interns so they provide open, honest feedback. Use the results to improve and enhance your program and help convert interns to full-time hires.
#3 The last section of our Student Recruitment Bundle is the Internship Programs for Success Virtual Workshop on March 3 & 4. This 2-part workshop highlights the dos and don’ts of internship programs, and how to set up intern managers for success. You can register for this workshop for $299, or, if you purchase the Career Guide and Internship Program Benchmark by February 28, we’ll give you one ticket to the workshop for free! Bonus= SHRM and HRCI continuing education credits available! Recordings upon request if you’re unable to join us live.
