Benefits of Hiring International Students
To compete in a global economy, businesses need global
talent.
International candidates speak the language of the
countries where organizations are doing business or
seeking new opportunities for growth.
Because it can be difficult for employees on a work visa
to change jobs, international employees are less likely
to leave unexpectedly. This lowers your costs for talent
recruitment in the long-term while also creating loyalty
among your employees.
(Retrieved from Dartmouth College)
![Page 43: ERD PowerPoint - Merrimack](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022012012/61582ea4c3be6a122e1130ef/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Benefits of Hiring International Students
They bring valuable
new perspectives
and problem-solving
skills to the way
companies do
business.
![Page 44: ERD PowerPoint - Merrimack](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022012012/61582ea4c3be6a122e1130ef/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Benefits of Hiring International Students
International students who want to study and work in the
US or another foreign country have tremendous
adaptability and perseverance. They are accustomed to
managing change after having to adjust to another part
of the world with different customs and a different way
of life.
If an international student has a specialized skill set or
range of global experiences that the employer desires, he
or she may be a better fit for the position than available
US candidates.
International employees make it easier for companies to
attract and retain a diverse workforce.

Nuts and Bolts of a
Successful Internship
![Page 79: ERD PowerPoint - Merrimack](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022012012/61582ea4c3be6a122e1130ef/html5/thumbnails/79.jpg)
What is an internship?
A carefully monitored work or service
experience with intentional learning goals which
actively reflects learning throughout the
experience.
May Be:
Paid or unpaid
Full or part time
Duration varies but generally 3 to 6 months
Includes learning objectives, reflection and
evaluation
![Page 80: ERD PowerPoint - Merrimack](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022012012/61582ea4c3be6a122e1130ef/html5/thumbnails/80.jpg)
Why hire interns?
Consider the value of your time and mission of the
company
Think about projects, short-term tasks and
department needs
Consider processes in your company that are
inefficient or in need of modification
Develop a pipeline of future hires
![Page 81: ERD PowerPoint - Merrimack](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022012012/61582ea4c3be6a122e1130ef/html5/thumbnails/81.jpg)
$10 Tasks vs. $100 Tasks
Consider the value of your time
Take a moment to jot down all the “ten dollar tasks” you perform which could be delegated to a $10/$15 hourly intern and allow you to focus on $100 tasks.
What are some projects and department needs which could be met using an industry-specific short term labor pool?
What are those $100 tasks you may need assistance with?
![Page 82: ERD PowerPoint - Merrimack](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022012012/61582ea4c3be6a122e1130ef/html5/thumbnails/82.jpg)

Legal Issues The U.S. Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) restricts an employer’s ability to use unpaid interns but does not limit an employer’s ability to hire paid interns. Interns do not need to receive compensation if they qualify as trainees.
DOL criteria for determining trainee status:
Interns cannot replace regular employees
Interns are not guaranteed a job at the end of the internship
Interns are not entitled to wages during the internship
Interns must receive training, even if it somewhat impedes the work of your organization
Interns must get hands-on experience with equipment and processes used in your industry
Interns’ training must primarily benefit the intern, not the company
