2007 Intern Bridge Data Report

This in-depth report provides the detailed data from one of the largest research studies to ever be conducted into internships. Through a unique partnership with Babson College, over 6,000 students from more than 30 universities responded to the survey, representing more than 50 majors and varying levels of internship experience. Each student answered over 100 questions about their expectations and experiences as they relate to participating in internship programs.

During the same time period, with the cooperation of the Northeast Human Resources Association, an organizational survey was conducted yielding over 240 responses from a wide variety of organizations such as AstraZeneca Pharmaceuticals, Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Rhode Island, Bose, Boston Public Schools, Federal Aviation Administration, New Balance Athletic Shoe, Ocean Spray Cranberries, PUMA North America, Staples,  Target Stores, and many more.

This landmark data provides insights into every facet of an internship program:

• Compensation and benefits - compensation data based on major, industry, and position.

• Why students choose (or do not choose) to participate in internship programs, and why organizations choose (or do not choose) to host internship programs.

• Which semesters students are most likely to pursue an internship, and which semesters typically work best for organizations.

• Structuring of the internship program to develop meaningful work for interns.

• What students look for in an internship supervisor.

• Methods students use to learn about internship programs, and methods organizations use to market internship programs.

• What organizations look for in their intern candidates.

• How organizations view college relations in the internship process.

• Student expectations regarding orientation programs, and how organizations currently handle intern orientation.

• Skills that were improved for interns as a result of participating in an internship.

• Best skill sets to look for in an intern candidate.

• Evaluation of organization cultures as it relates to their ability of hosting an internship program.

• Expected outcomes of an internship program.

If you represent an employer, this data will help you create or improve win-win internship programs that meet student expectations, foster lasting relationships with universities, and create value for your organization. The data can be used as a benchmarking tool.

If you represent a university, this data will shed light on current gaps in the internship process. Empowered with this information, you will have strong data to assist students with their internship search, and the data can be used when writing articles, validating career center practices, and developing career programs regarding strategies for seeking an internship.
