Infographic: Why should companies hire interns?

This infographic makes a strong case for internship involvement for both the student and the company.

This infographic from OpenSesame makes a strong case for internship involvement for both the student and the company. Paid interns have a much higher chance of being offered full-time employment than unpaid interns and those who do not intern at all. Companies who hire their interns into full-time employment see a significantly higher retention rate even up to five years later. With such great benefits all around, what do you have to lose?
