Internships provide benefits for both businesses and communities by allowing students, professionals, and career-changers to gain experience in short or long-term project-based positions. Internships cost less for businesses to recruit compared to entry-level employees, with the average cost of an intern being $5,000 versus $8,000 for a new hire. Employers are also able to convert qualified interns into full-time employees according to a National Association of Colleges and Employers survey.
