Quick Statistics

As of 2012, 53 percent of college graduates are unemployed or

underemployed (Michael, http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com). According to the National Association of Colleges and Employers

(NACE), new college graduates who had participated in internshipsdid far better in the job market than their classmates who had nothad that experience(www.collegeplus.org).

In 2008 employers extended job offers to nearly 70 percent of their

interns, up from 57 percent in 2001.(www.collegeplus.org)

Students who intern for the company they want to work for aftercollege are more likely to have a position waiting for them after

college. According to NACE, responding employers indicated that while 31

percent of their new employees came from their own internshipprograms, 62 percent had internship experience of some kind.
