Grads With Internships Have Job Market Edge
New college graduates looking for a job will likely have an edge over their competition if they have participated in an internship or otherwise gained work-related experience, according to a survey conducted by the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE).
Approximately 95 percent of the organizations responding to NACE's Job Outlook 2008 survey said candidate experience is a factor in their hiring decisions. More than three-quarters are most interested in relevant work experience, but nearly 20 percent give candidates points for any type of work experience. On the question of how the experience is gained, respondents were split.
Slightly more than half of employers report that they didn't have a preference on how the candidate gets experience, but nearly as many--47 percent--said they prefer candidates to gain their experience through an internship or cooperative education program.
In addition, results of a separate NACE study show that employers are placing more emphasis on internship and cooperative education programs to "grow" their own employees--looking first to their own interns when they have job opportunities.
According to NACE, not only does participation in an internship make the student a more attractive candidate, but also it can be an avenue to a job.

College Hiring Projections and Patterns
Employers expect to hire 8 percent more new college graduates from the Class of 2008 than they hired from the Class of 2007, according to the "Job Outlook 2008 Spring Update" report of the National Association of Colleges and Employers. Despite that positive outlook, the current negative economic climate has had an effect on the hiring prospects of new college graduates. In fact, although hiring projections remain positive, they have cooled off since the fall of 2007, when employers projected a 16 percent increase in college hiring for the Class of 2008. That drop off, however, is tempered by the fact that much of the negative impact is concentrated in specific industries, such as finance, leaving a significant portion of the market for new college graduates robust.

Another NACE report showed that employers are increasingly looking to their internship programs to find new employees. Employers reported that nearly 36 percent of the new college graduates they hired from the Class of 2007 came from their own internship programs, up from 30 percent from the Class of 2005. In addition, employers say they extended job offers to nearly 70 percent of their interns; in 2001, they offered jobs to 57 percent. Survey findings also indicate that interns who become full-time hires are more likely to stick with the organization than their co-workers who didn’t go through the program.
