Read what this organization had to say about their winning strategies.
“Our internship keep-warm strategy was created with the goal of ensuring our interns felt supported prior to their summer internship start date. We had personalized check-ins with managers and their peer advisors, HR updates with important onboarding information, and opportunities to connect with future interns through GroupMe and a virtual bootcamp for professional development. By balancing informative content with a human touch, we built excitement, strengthened commitment, and reduced drop-off. This approach ensures interns feel valued, prepared, and connected—resulting in higher acceptance rates, stronger onboarding, and a more engaged cohort from day one.”
