| About The Program |  |
In our new economy, the competition for emerging talent is growing more intense each day.
As a result, internship programs have become a far more popular tool for engaging young talent, developing mentor relationships and recruiting in a cost-effective manner. However, a less-than-successful internship program – from the perspective of both the intern and an organization – can have a detrimental impact on branding, productivity and the morale of existing teams.
Intern Bridge is excited to welcome one of our long-time partners, Mark Babbitt of YouTern, for the “Making Internships Work” webinar. Mark will take your organization from pre-interview to exit interview, and will present best practices that will empower you to take your internship program to the next level.
