Each semester many col-lege students completeinternships as a way toapply their academic

learning to the real world. Theseinternship experiences complimentand add to what students learn inthe classroom and are often arequirement for their college major.Colleges and faculty recognize theimportance of these experientialactivities and understand theirvalue as they watch students workto gain the necessary knowledgeand skills required for success in

today’s work force. A tough econo-my like the one we are currentlyexperiencing forces employers tobe even more selective in the hiringprocess and this makes many jobsin a wide range of industries evenmore competitive. Employerslooking to hire for entry-level posi-tions seek applicants who have rel-evant work experience included on

their resumes, and they highlyvalue applicants who have alreadycompleted one or more internships.

Since Skidmore is a liberal artscollege, there are students seekinginternships that are related to awide range of interests. Althoughmany students are focused, have setdefinite career goals, and alreadyknow that they want to gain experi-ence in careers such as advertising,finance, marketing, publishing,government, education, art, socialwork, computer technology, for-eign languages, etc., there are alsoa considerable number of studentswho are still unsure of their careeraspirations and hope that an intern-ship will help provide them withsome direction. Working alongsideprofessionals in the field is anopportunity for students to see

what actually occurs on a day-to-day basis as well as a chance to askquestions of professionals that willhopefully assist them in their deci-sion-making and career develop-ment.

Students doing internships forcredit must complete 130 hours persemester to receive 3 credit hourswhich is included on their college

transcript. Students work directlywith an onsite supervisor at theinternship site as well as a facultymember who sponsors them, setsthe criteria and evaluates the over-all internship experience. In addi-tion to the hours students work attheir internship, they may berequired to keep a journal, write apaper or do a reading or presenta-tion that offers them an opportunityto reflect on the experience.Internships are an excellent way forstudents to test the waters and getexposure to careers that they decidemay or may not be of genuine inter-est to them. Since internships areone of the best ways for students togain the knowledge and skillsrequired by many employers seek-ing entry-level candidates, doingseveral internships prior to gradua-tion will definitely make themmore competitive candidates intoday’s job market.

Skidmore College’s CareerServices Office houses an onlinedatabase for local, national andinternational internships. Careercounselors work with studentsdirectly on helping them to uncov-er some of the many opportunitiesthat are available. During fall andspring semesters, many students dointernships in addition to their reg-ular college course work. Duringthe summer there are a number ofstudents who want to stay in theSaratoga area and who usually seeklocal internships and/or summerjobs. There are also a large numberof students who look for internshipopportunities in their home townand some who even hope to find aninternship abroad. Although intern-ships with nonprofit agencies or

volunteer organizations are gener-ally unpaid, there are many intern-ships that offer students a modestsalary, stipend, or unique benefitthat help to defray some of theirpersonal and/or college expenses.

Like many college communities,the Saratoga Springs area offers alarge variety of internship opportu-nities for college students. Studentsare often assigned to assist with anorganization or agency’s day-to-day workload or they may be askedto come in to complete a specialproject or assignment. Dependingon their knowledge and experience,employers often assign interns sim-ilar tasks that they offer their full-

time employees. Internships are awin-win situation for both employ-ers and students. Students partici-pating in internships gain valuableknowledge and experience whileemployers often get a new andfresh perspective and may even beintroduced to new strategies andtechniques that are current and newto the field.

Q1 - Volume 9Published January 23, 2009

EQEQ• About Internships• Shared Work Program• A Recruiter’s Perspective

Shared Work is an activeapproach to managingbusiness cycles and sea-sonal business adjust-

ments. It is good business.

What is Shared Work? The Shared Work program helps

employers survive temporary busi-ness downturns by giving them analternative to firing full-time work-ers. It makes sense to help busi-nesses retain productive workers.

Under this program, instead ofcutting staff, an employer canreduce the number of hours of allworkers, or just a select group.Under an approved plan, employ-ees may collect partialUnemployment Insurance (UI)benefits for up to 20 weeks. Underthe current Federal ExtendedBenefits plan, the 20 weeks ofShared Work benefits may beextended to 40 weeks.

For example: After filing aShared Work plan with the StateLabor Department, Plant XYZreceives approval to reduce thehours of its sewing department by40% for ten weeks. These workerscan file for UI and may be able tocollect 40% of their weekly benefit(after serving an unpaid waitingperiod of one week).

Why not just lay off workersand then rehire them asneeded?

Skilled workers may take otherjobs, so you cannot hire them when

business picks up again. It is costlyto find, hire and train new workers.

Direct costs of hiring includeadvertising; wages for humanresources staff to review resumes,conduct interviews, make offers,prepare hiring forms and orientnew employees; or contractingwith an employment agency.Retraining costs include supervi-sor’s time and possible productionerrors as new employees learn thejob. Direct costs also include over-time paid to employees who worklonger hours to make up for peoplewho were laid off.

Layoffs also can damageemployee good-will. When youavoid layoffs, workers may under-stand that you appreciate their indi-vidual contributions and want tokeep them on despite tough times.Shared Work is a vote of confi-dence that tells employees they arevalued team members.

What does a Shared Workplan require?

The employer must have at least

five full-time (35-40 hours/week)employees and file an applicationto the State Labor DepartmentLiability & Determination Section.The application is due at least twoweeks before they wish to start theprogram. Also, the employer musthave paid UI tax contributions forat least four consecutive calendarquarters before applying. Contactthe Liability & DeterminationSection at 518-457-2635 to requestan application.

A Shared Work plan mustinclude:

• a reduction in work hours between 20 and 60%

• benefits may not be used to pay employees who were already part-time

• no reduction in fringe benefits • no extension beyond 53 weeks • by the Liability & Deter-

mination Section of the StateLabor Department UI Division before implementation

• the employer cannot hire more full- or part-time employees for

the workgroup covered by the plan

• the plan must be in lieu of a lay-off of an equivalent percentage of the workforce

• all employees in an affected unit and reduced their hours by the same extent (you may reduce different units by differ-ent percentages)

• if there is a collective bargain-ing agreement in effect, the collective bargaining unit must agree to participate in the Shared Work Program.

What effect will SharedWork benefits have on anemployer’s unemploymentinsurance tax rate?

Shared Work benefits will becharged against the employer’sexperience rating account. Whetherthese charges will be the same asthose for a layoff will depend onthe situation. If you have a questionconcerning how Shared Work could impact your tax rate, call 518-457-2635.
