Key Success Factor : Specific Job Descriptions for Each Internship To ensure that each internship adds value to both the intern and the company , CommScope writes a specific job description for each internship position . “ It would be easier to have one generic job description for all interns ,” said Jordan Thomas , University Recruiter at CommScope , “ However , we ’ ve found that having the managers write a custom job description helps them think through the type of intern they want , what the project and deliverables are , what resources the intern will need , how success will be measured , and how they will supervise the intern . This strategy seems to be working because many of our intern applications come from friends and family of past interns who had a great experience .”
Internships are also the core strategy for sourcing early career talent at Vertiv , the $ 4 billion US-based manufacturer of power and cooling equipment for data centres worldwide . The company has emerged from five years of ownership changes with a clear vision to grow and the resources to do it . “ We plan to hire 600 engineers between now and the end of the year ,” said Chris Anderson , Vice President , Global Talent Acquisition . “ We ’ re focusing on key locations with strong engineering schools , including Pune , India ; Shian and Shenzen , China ; Zagreb , Croatia ; and the US ”,
