[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A know a lot of 25 grads who are doing internships, since they could not find a job.  Unfortunately that trickles down to the college kids who now have less internship possibilities.[/quote]

How can they do internships after graduation?  Unless they're continuing on to grad school?[/quote]

We know 5 kids from a top-20 school who did internships after graduation -- it's because they didn't want to offer full employment. One got hired on but his start date got pushed back to February 2026. This is for a major company that has been in the news lately, and making lots of $$. [/quote]

I sincerely doubt this because internships are used by the companies to check out and entice upcoming talent. I’ve never heard of a post/grad intern. A company that can’t give an offer won’t do it or will retract. We saw this during Covid.[/quote]

My son is suppposed to graduate in May 2026 but one of the funds he wants to work at suggested he apply for an internship position because he is more likely to get that. So yes, he might do an internship after graduating if does not land a full time offer at a place he likes. [/quote]
