New 4imprint infographic details how interns can help organisations grow

(Manchester, UK) - Promotional products retailer 4imprint has created a new infographic outlining how companies could benefit from hiring interns.

The infographic details how interns can relieve pressure during busy periods, improve staff retention, save time and money on recruitment and in addition, bringing in talented outsiders could provide a business with a fresh perspective on its products, service or industry.

Statistics showed there was a 36 per cent increase in the number of companies offering internships in 2012, followed by a 53 per cent rise in 2013 [1] which demonstrates more firms are seeing these benefits first-hand.

Internships also benefit the young people undertaking them as they gain insight into a specific firm and industry as well as an overarching view of the world of work and perhaps most importantly they’ll gain genuine work experience to add to their CV.

"Interns have plenty to offer yet it’s important to mention that on-going and adequate training needs to be planned and provided,” says Cheryl Jackson-Leafield, Marketing Manager of 4imprint UK and Ireland, “with support and supervision in place both the firm and the intern are likely to get the most from the outset."
