AgCareers.com Internship Program Benchmark

The AgCareers.com Internship Program Benchmark provides a student evaluation of your company’s internship program in an industry benchmarking format. AgCareers.com collects information from your interns in a two-part survey, to assess their expectations going into their internship, and their feedback on the experience at the conclusion.

AgCareers.com handles the work for you, collecting data in an anonymous form. You gain invaluable feedback from your interns! You’ll receive two reports from us, one during the internship and a final afterwards.

About the Internship Benchmark Survey:

• The Internship Program Benchmark is a two-part ag-specific survey for interns to tell you about their experience at your company. On average, 500 interns take part each year to give feedback to their individual organizations, as well as contribute to the overall industry analysis.

• AgCareers.com conducts the survey in two parts– as the interns enter, and as they exit the internship. The results give employers an opportunity to gauge student expectations and deliverables. Feedback from Part 1 allows organizations to check expectations and make needed changes even during the internship. Part 2 provides an overview and conclusion, so you can adjust and build your program for the future.

• Not only do you get to hear what your own interns expect, but you can see the expectations of interns throughout the industry. AgCareers.com conducts the survey as a third-party, thus allowing interns to give more open and honest responses.

Part 1:
- How many other internships did you consider?
- How did you find the interview process?
- What made you decide on this internship?
- What are 3 things we can do to make this a great internship?

Part 2:
- How would you rate the duties/responsibilities of this internship?
- Were you provided with a final review?
- What level of compensation did you receive for this internship?
- What would you suggest for improvements for future interns?
- Have you been formally or informally offered another internship or full time offer with this organization?

To participate, email agcareers@agcareers.com. Confirmation of participation must be received by June 1st. The first survey is distributed in late May/early June of each year.
