From maintaining employee retention and a healthy company culture to ensuring employee satisfaction
\nand levels of productivity, the COVID-19 pandemic altered the way many organizations operate their
\nbusiness. At a more micro view, employers who transitioned from managing staff in person to having a
\nteam of remote and\/or hybrid workers have faced, and continue to face, the challenges of keeping their
\nemployees engaged, motivated, and comfortable with their evolving work conditions.<\/p>\n

At an even deeper look, companies have had to get creative in the ways they provide work experience
\nand professional development opportunities for their interns, which are part of Generation Z (Gen Z) \u2013
\nthe youngest and largest age group in American history. To satisfy the hunger for knowledge of a
\npopulation that grew up on the internet and YouTube, an online video-sharing platform that offers
\ninstructional videos for practically every subject imaginable, organizations will need to discover dynamic
\nsolutions that capture attention and keep their learners engaged.<\/p>\n

So, if companies are already facing a multitude of unsolicited interruptions, why would they willingly add
\nmore to their plate by hiring an intern right now? For starters, here are just a few important reasons
\nwhy:<\/p>\n

Secure Future Talent<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Employers can build a pipeline of future full-time talent without running the risk of hiring an applicant
\nwho ends up being the wrong person for the job. Internships provide a test-run for both the student and
\nthe employer. Gen Z interns get a true sense of what the company culture and potential full-time job
\nwould be like, and employers get valuable insight of the student\u2019s personal qualities, skill sets, and
\npotential.<\/p>\n

Bank on Financial Savings<\/h3>\n

According to the U.S. Department of Labor, an estimated 30% of an employee\u2019s first-year salary could be
\nthe hefty price a business pays due to a bad hire. Assessing whether a student would make a good fit for
\nthe job during his or her internship could wind up saving an organization a pretty penny. In addition,
\nGen Z\u2019ers are inexpensive assets. Although the pay range varies considerably depending on different
\nvariables, the average wage of paid interns in the United States is $15.03 per hour, according to
\nZipRecruiter\u2019s October 2021 database scan.<\/p>\n

Keep Up with Technology<\/h3>\n

Guy Yehiav, a member of the Forbes Technology Council, stated that \u201cGen Z is a population of critical
\nimportance to the future development of enterprise technology, both as consumers and as workplace
\nemployees.\u201d This tech- and social media-savvy generation can play a significant part in a company\u2019s
\neducation and integration of the latest technology, techniques, and trends. They can also help
\nbusinesses strategically leverage their social media presence, marketability, and efficiencies with the
\nfresh knowledge they obtain in school and from their invaluable personal experience.<\/p>\n

The trade-off for investing time and energy into the maturation of young professionals is paramount for
\nboth the organization and the intern. While today\u2019s stressors are important and valid, the vitality of
\ntomorrow\u2019s success can be enriched by adding a Gen Z intern to your team.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
