National Association of Colleges and Schools (NACE) – May 26, 2010

New graduates who took part in an internship program are more likely to have received a job offer than their peers who decided to forgo the experience, according to results of NACE’s 2010 Student Survey. The study found that 42.3 percent of the seniors who had internship experience and applied for a job received at least one job offer. Conversely, only 30.7 percent of seniors without internship experience who applied for a job received an offer. Despite the economic slowdown in Central Florida , some Valencia interns are still being offered either part-time or full-time employment opportunities at the end of their internship experience.
