The Internship Institute completed a 5-year study on ‘live’ internship programs which demonstrates that a single, qualified manager can gain 225 full 8-hour workdays of productivity in a calendar year by effectively utilizing college interns.
The results overwhelmingly refute any misconception that having an internship program involves too much time and work for too little in return. The study involved The Internship Institute’s first-hand experience managing internship programs through 14 full semester cycles. The study validates the value internship programs can yield by shifting the paradigm of time and work productivity management.
