Engineering Time Constraints

Engineering Managers

Do you feel added pressure taking on a co-op or intern when your schedule is already full?

You are not alone.

The #1 reason for not placing an engineering co-op/intern is supervision time constraint. It accounts for 25% to 35% of all co-op/intern hiring objections.

Manager Supervision Time

Over a 12-week period, engineering co-ops/interns typically require between 40 to 200 hours of time from a supervisor, mentors, engineers and other technical professionals.

In addition, an average of 40% of first year co-ops/interns never work at the company again. That can add up to a significant amount of valuable technical hours lost!
