Employer Reflections

National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE) research

Internship programs are about more than just getting quality hires in the door: Retention metrics reported in NACE’s 2026 Internship & Co-op Report demonstrate the long-term ROI of having a program

However, higher retention rates are just one of the benefits of internship programs. Employers hail these programs as effective recruiting tools that allow them to identify early talent and develop skills in and strengthen ties to top talent in order to convert them to full-time roles following graduation. This effort is showing up as the conversion rate surged to 63.1% for 2024-25 interns, the highest rate in five years.
