I have always told our externship graduates to add that experience to their resumes to show experience in the field they are going into. It is good to see that companies ARE looking for that and are also encouraging the VI's to do so. The goal of most VI's should be to convert them to full time hire if its possible.

I was also not aware that this was an option for internships but believe that this could be a viable option for our Business students that are needing to fulfill this as a requirement to graduate. It will be an option that we will be looking into for furture graduates.
