10. Benefits of the Proposed Programme
• Provides the most efficient and cost-effective way of creating a pipeline of
talent for early career roles

• Companies that hire interns early are able to keep them interested in full-time
employment once they graduate
– After one year on the job, hires drawn from an employer’s own internship programme were
retained at a rate of 75.8 percent. By contrast, 60.7 percent of hires that came on board without
the employer’s internship experience were still with the company after one year.
• A well-designed internship programme ensures interns understand the
objectives and benefits of the programme
• Continuous flow of fresh talent can be extremely helpful in increasing the
diversity of thought within an organization
