For growing businesses, hiring an intern can provide fresh perspectives and critical support—but finding the right fit starts with a strong job description. Research indicates that companies with clear and detailed job descriptions receive 50% more qualified applicants than those with vague posts, so it's worth spending some time on, and that is especially true of an internship. A well-crafted internship description not only outlines tasks but also sets expectations and highlights the value of the role for both the intern and the business. 📝 We wrote about how to craft the perfect one here: https://lnkd.in/ecdxiauF We cover: ✅ Key elements to include in your intern job description ✅ How to balance responsibilities with learning opportunities ✅ Practical tips to ensure your intern feels supported and engaged ✅ The cheat code to finding a great intern #VirtualInternships #StartupTips #InternshipGuide #TalentDevelopment #FutureOfWork

Can we call it? Is it official? 👀 🎄🎁 As we close out the first week of December, the temptation to nudge tasks and projects into the new year is high. You may find your work is split into two camps: make progress now that you'll be thankful for in January OR get a fresh start on it in 2025/make it January's problem. Which camp are you in?

"By onboarding interns, the perception of one side is that we're getting this for free so what is the catch I have to say there's no catch. We commit to developing the interns in a live project environment, but also to give them things to think about. This program offers that tremendous opportunity in allowing us as organizations to onboard free talent where the trade-off is that we get to spend time developing them." Mick Be, Founder of I Am I Authentications, Inc., has found tremendous value in onboarding remote interns from around the world into his Canada-based cybersecurity business. "We've tried connecting with several universities and community colleges around my area here in Toronto, Canada, and only some of them have been successful. What I like about Virtual Internships is that what we get involved in is tied to the students' credit system in their educational course, so they need to complete a number of hours to qualify to gain credits and then to further complete their degree or diploma. The value to us is that we know we're going to get students who are actually focused and committed to fulfilling their promise to the internship program." Mick went on to explain how they structure their internships to maximise results for both his startup company and the interns: https://lnkd.in/gEJbDpeN #VirtualInternships #TalentPipeline #FutureOfWork #StartUpSupport #RemoteInternships
