The Benefits of Experiential Learning for Employers
Fresh Perspectives
Students are well-educated in a wide range of disciplines, bringing up-to-date knowledge and new ideas to your organization.
Job-Ready Skills
Students have developed skills in critical thinking, creativity, problem solving, communication and leadership that are beneficial in a variety of workplace settings.
Creative Staffing Solutions
Small and medium businesses and non-profit organizations typically have limited financial resources and HR capacity. Working with EL students can help you meet your needs while keeping these constraints in mind.
Expanding Employee Capacity
Students can take over certain tasks to help existing staff perform more value-added functions. They give you the opportunity to take on new projects that may not otherwise be possible.
Streamlined Recruitment
Students who have experienced hands-on learning have a greater than average retention rate than other employees, making them a perfect new and permanent addition to your organization.
Team Players
Students want to gain real world experience in the workplace, build their resumes, and take advantage of opportunities to exercise their skills and demonstrate their value to potential employers today and in the future.
