Tips: Use an easy to use online application process. Use content rich social media to show “day in the life” and to stay in touch with candidates. Use a webinar to showcase your program benefits. Clearly articulate benefits such as meaningful project work and training/development opportunities.
Ideas to Consider : Invite interns to company meetings and events. Invite executives to speak to intern group or have a 1:1 meeting with a specific intern. Conduct a “business communications” class. Invite the college Career Services contact to your place of business for a tour and overview of program. Use social media and mobile for increased engagement of interns.
