Does it Work?

50 percent reduction in employee turnover

Employers report an increase in efficiency* in hiring year-over-year after working with EAW including greater diversity in the workforce.

Students who graduate in similar programs earn an average of $4,755 more annually.

Students report an increase in earnings of bachelor’s degree recipients who held paid internships over those who did not.

Universities boast that students who complete paid internships are more likely to recommend and support the school in the future.

* A recently released study by analyst firm Mercer pegged average U.S. annual turnover at about 20%, with about two-thirds of that voluntary. If your business is in retail, hospitality or wholesale distribution, turnover is likely to trend higher than, for example, education or finance. Mercer says the job functions with the highest annual voluntary turnover are contact center/customer service (17%), manufacturing and operations (15%), and sales (14%).
