<quote>interning is a great idea and it gives you the chance to groom someone for your company. It's a chance for students to learn, do real work, and you to find out who fits and doesn't fit in your organization.</quote>

I agree 100%! I think it's a win-win situation. Not only does the organization gets a good look at a prospective long-term employee, but the student may discover new career opportunities they might not have even known about - as Steve did.

We have great success with interns here. I have seen only one intern that did not work out as well as I would have liked - that's because she left to go to Microsoft!
