Why You Should Hire An Intern

Jan 17, 2020 | Diversity and Inclusion, Employee Engagement, Performance Management

I had the most awesome experience this summer. I made the plunge and hired a college intern, and she has been awesome. She’s was incredible! I want that same experience for you and your company.

So, I want you to go to your HR department and say, “We need interns.” And definitely pay them. Paying somebody makes it more solid. Now, where are you going to get the money? It’s not a big chunk of change. You’ve got it, just go looking for it.

Some of the objections I hear are, “I’m not going to have enough for her or him to do,” and “They’re going to follow me around all the time.” It’s possible, but there are ways to work around that. And there are other objections. We’re going to work through these objections in this series.

I can’t wait to share my experience so that you too will see the benefit of having an intern. And even better, the intern has the experience of working with you!
