Posted by Strada Education Foundation on March 31, 2026
While the benefits of internships for students are well-known, many organizations struggle to measure their true impact as a strategic business investment. To bridge this gap, Strada and UpSkill America at the Aspen Institute interviewed 40 diverse employers to uncover how internships solve persistent challenges.
This report, “Maximizing the Value of Internships: Advice From Employers,” translates these insights into actionable guidance for leaders in human resources, talent acquisition, and workforce strategy. It moves beyond isolated metrics to provide a clear framework for aligning internship programs with core business priorities.
The report also highlights four employers that share lessons learned about how to increase the value of their investment in internships.
