According to the results of the 2011 ERC/NOCHE Intern & Recent Grad Pay Rates & Practices Survey, more Northeast Ohio organizations are planning to grow or maintain internship programs compared to those planning to reduce or eliminate their interns.
Results from the 2009-2010 surveys, conducted annually by ERC in collaboration with the Northeast Ohio Council on Higher Education (NOCHE), highlight a trend in the overall percentage of organizations that plan to increase their number of hired interns from 23% in 2009 to 35% in 2011. In addition, survey results show a steady decline in the number of organizations who plan to reduce or eliminate their internship programs over the same period.
Organizations Planning to Make Modifications to Internship Programs
Results also show that an increased percentage of organizations find value in hiring interns to (among other cited reasons) develop a talent pipeline, assist with special project work, test potential employees before hiring them, obtain affordable workforce support, increase exposure at local colleges and universities, and to improve retention of new college graduates in Northeast Ohio.
