Summer Internships Fill Up Fast - Help Students Get Ahead of the Curve Give your students access to more internship opportunities this year. It’s no secret that students are concerned now more than ever about finding a job after graduation. Despite the challenging economic environment facing student job seekers, a new internships survey reveals that 69% of companies with 100 or more employees offered full-time jobs to their interns – a positive and powerful reminder of the importance of an internship experience – especially as students prepare for the 2013 summer internships season. But finding an internship that is the right fit for a student can be a struggle in itself. Blackboard System Administrators can help connect students to internships within their Blackboard Learn environment. Internships.com, the largest marketplace for internships, part-time jobs and entry-level positions is available within Blackboard Learn. Additionally Internships.com was selected by Forbes as the one of the 10 Best Websites for Your Career. The partnership allows students to access Internships.com’s vast inventory of internships – currently over 60,000 active positions – all which have been vetted and verified by the Internships.com team. The partnership complements and adds value to existing career-focused efforts and provides one more resource for students as they are looking for internships. The time to act is now. Help students succeed beyond the classroom.
