Nikita Gupta is a Co-Founder & CTO at Symba, a platform that helps manage talent development programs like internships.
Internships are one of the most effective ways for hiring at a software company, but there’s a lot of work that goes into managing successful interns. With hiring getting harder across the industry due to increased competition and funding, I thought it would be interesting to dive into understanding how to manage successful internship programs.
Highlights
0:30 - What is Symba?
1:30 - Starting with the hot-takes. So, are college degrees overrated now?
5:30 - Why do I need a software platform to manage internships?
8:50 - Why do companies generally need to manage 8 - 10 platforms for internships? What have you seen?
10:30 - As a software engineer or manager, how do I make my intern successful?
13:30 - Cadence of check-ins
16:30 - With remote interns, how do you build a successful community?
18:50 - How do I measure the success/efficacy of my internship program?
21:00 - How do I know that my intern mentors/hosts are doing a good job?
25:00 - What are some concrete steps that I can take to increase my intern pool’s diversity? What should I track?
27:30 - What are some trends in the intern hiring space?
32:00 - Government investments in internship programs
33:00 - What’s your advice to the first-time intern mentor/host?
