Why Adult Internships Are Growing in Today's Economy

The hot internship topic of the past few weeks has definitely been, "Adult Internships" also termed, "non-traditional internships". Are adults getting internships ? Are increased layoffs resulting in increased internship interest ? Are those who graduated school years ago even allowed to intern?

As your "Intern Queen" I figured it was my job to get to the bottom of this. In Los Angeles, I recently watched a segment on CNN entitled, "Adult Internships". The segment discussed the number of companies offering adults internships. I personally deal with over 400 companies on a daily basis. These companies are usually not open to viewing anyone's resume accept for currently enrolled college students. Even getting them to take a look at highschool student's applications can be a difficult process. Many employers actually use my site to get away from sites like Craigslist who tend to attract adults looking for a "career change" at 40 plus years of age. I was naturally skeptical of this new trend of "Adult Internships".

However, after speaking with several adults who ARE participating in internships in Los Angeles and in businesses around the country, I have to agree that Adult Internships ARE a growing trend. Employers are going to have to start finding ways to open their doors and internship programs to people of all ages.

WHY ADULT INTERNSHIPS ARE A GROWING TREND IN TODAY'S ECONOMY

1. INCREASED LAYOFFS. Becuase of the steady increase of layoffs in today's economy, adults have been left in "transitional periods". If they can't get job offers in their industry they are left to think of other options. Many adults are saying they would rather have an internship and keep busy while they're on the 'job hunt' than sit around and sulk.

2. THE "PASSION" CAREER. Afer being left with a not-so-great severance package, many adults are just fed up with their previous industries. They are looking back at their lives and questioning why they didn't go into other careers/businesses. Many people are starting their own companies and going after different types of jobs. This a time for everyone to go after what they really want and an internship is the best way for ANYONE to get their foot in the door.

3. NETWORKING AND RELATIONSHIP BUILDING. Internships are a great way to connect with individuals who you might not normally connect with. Internships are a great way to build up a new strong rolodex. As an intern, you are constantly meeting new people, helping different executives, and getting your name out there. Putting great relationships into place as an intern, can garauntee first knowledge of new jobs and company information that outsiders might not have.

4. THEY ALREADY "GET IT". One common problem with highschool and college students interning, is the lack of workplace/realworld knowledge. Young interns often don't understand when to speak and when not to speak, when to give ideas and when not to give ideas. They don't understand the politics,professional manners, and boundaries of the workplace. With adult interns, the chances of these problems is significantly decreased.

Students Pay to Snag Intern Positions

"Andrew Topel’s parents paid $8,000 this year to a service that helped their son, a junior at the University of Tampa, get a summer job as an assistant at Ford Models, a top agency in New York."

“It would’ve been awfully difficult” to get a job like that, said Andrew’s father, Avrim Topel, “without having a friend or knowing somebody with a personal contact.” Andrew completed the eight-week internship in July and was invited to return for another summer or to interview for a job after graduation."

How 40+ Year Old Men Can Get Hired

"Some employers think it’s more difficult for people middle-aged and beyond to learn new things." "Research shows that a significant percent of people continue to learn, and learn aggressively, well into their 50s and 60s,” Adler says. “It’s a bias that's unfortunate. Overcome this mind-set by demonstrating learning agility. You want to make sure the person knows that you are committed and have been committed to lifelong learning, are open to new experiences, are not set in your ways and have curiosity,” Adler explains. “Transmit this in conversations whether you’re being interviewed or networking. Of course, this works best if it’s really true.”

Tips For Changing Your Career

"Prepare a cushion. Beyond the 529 plan, you should have between three to six months’ worth of living expenses saved for emergencies. In fact, you may want to have more since it will take longer to find a job, and you probably won’t make as much as you used to since you are starting fresh."

How an Intern Over 40 Can Land That Dream Internship

"It's useful to test out a new career field before you spend a lot of time and money retraining for it. "An internship grants you the opportunity to determine whether you are capable of doing the work and whether you desire to do the work," says Anthony Gualtieri, a museum specialist and internship coordinator at the Smithsonian's Anacostia Community Museum, who will have two interns over age 40 this summer."

Career Change Steps

"Step 2: Evaluate what's most important to you. (Read 16 Set Goals.) Is it a good income, challenging work or independence? What do you do well and what do you enjoy? If your career fits in with your basic values, you'll like it more and stick with it longer."

Advice For the 40 Year Old Intern

"Create your own opportunities. Can't find an internship you want? Why not pitch yourself as an intern to a company you're interested in working with? With so many businesses short-staffed these days, they'd be lucky to have an experienced worker to lend a hand for a few hours, not to mention a few weeks or months."

Adult Internships Are Just Different - what you can do to land one

"To succeed as an adult intern, you can't be too proud. While you may have years of experience, the point of an internship is to figure out what you need to learn. And you'll have to get comfortable that you might be learning from someone many years your junior. If you play it right, your younger colleagues should find that there is plenty they can learn from you as well."

Internships Are For Everyone

"Mary K. graduated with an M.B.A. a few years ago. Because of her lack of experience in the field she wants to enter, she has been having trouble getting hired. In an email she sent to me, Mary says "I am bright, articulate and would be a valuable asset to any organization willing to hire me in a business related role." She also said she'd be willing to do volunteer work to get the experience she needs. Mary wanted to know if I had any suggestions. I did have one suggestion. "Look into doing an internship," I said in an email I fired off to Mary. "
