Internships are booming.
Internshala has been reporting jumps of between 30 and 80 percent jumps in internships listed by businesses year on year, depending on which year you look at. The same data says that more and more businesses are offering paid internships. Demand for interns is going up.
And if you ask recruiters, they’ll say that the number of internship applicants is also going up. Supply of interns is meeting its demand.
Both sides of the market are growing.
And because of this, workplaces and careers are changing. The fundamental lines we’ve always known and understood between education and career, university then job, those lines are blurring. In many cases, interns are almost indistinguishable from entry level employees, both to their employers and to themselves.
This is making our workplaces younger, more innovative, and a little bit more prone to bursts of hormones, than ever before.
