Recently the Chicago Tribune published an article on the cost savings related to internships. Interns aren't only less costly than full-time staff, but they also represent a great way to train and develop a potential talent pipeline.
This is a concept I have been in favor of for years. In most cases, young interns are eager to learn new skills and are easy to train. Further, it can enhance your talent pipeline, and allow you to "try out" potential staff. Companies should consider this as an option if they are at all interested in creating a positive environment for young professionals.
The article can be found at the link below.

I did an internship during College and got more out of it than my fellow interns because I was willing to put more into the position. It was unpaid which was frustrating, still, if done correctly an internship can establish applicants after graduation.
