A Great Internship is a Great Path to a Great Entry Level Job
An increasingly large number of employers and college students view a great internship as the best path to landing a great entry level job upon graduation. Want an example? PricewaterhouseCoopers hired about 2,800 college students this summer for internships in their various offices. That's up from "just" 1,100 in 2002. But unlike some other employers, PwC does not see interns as merely temporary workers or short sources of labor. The evidence for that is that PwC extends offers for permanent employment to a remarkable 85 percent of its interns and, even more remarkably, 90 percent accept.
"We invest in them. We spend time developing and coaching them," said Amy Van Kirk, PwC's vice president of recruiting. Well, Amy, your success is well deserved.
