Paid Internships Key to Job-Search Success for New College Grads

Paid internships correlate to job-search success, according to a new study conducted by the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE). 

Class of 2011 graduates who took part in a paid internship were more likely to get a job offer, have a job in hand by the time they graduated, and receive a higher starting salary offer than their peers who undertook an unpaid internship or no internship at all, according to results of NACE’s 2011 Student Survey.
